Mehindi- Getting it done

Ok guys, when exactly does the dulhan get her mehindi done? Is it usually before the Mehindi, during the mehindi in front of everyone, or the same night after the mehindi event is over?

EDIT: Alright girls… I am gonna change this around. Let’s make this thread all about the hands and feet. Mehindi and nails. Lets post pix and dicuss ideas, and ask questions.

I will post a few pix of pretty mehindi/ nail designs shortly!

Hey babe, I think there is no point having a mehndi function if your going to apply your mehndi before or afterwards.

I say its part of the fun to have mehndi artists doing your mehndi on the mehndi night with your guests there.

Other areas such as legs (if you want it done there) can always wait till later or be done before.

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

hey i'm thinking of having mine done before hand so my mehndi wali is relaxed then she said she can come and put on glitter wali mehndi with stones when its the mehndi night,

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Oh devi thats nice!!!!

Actually how does the glitter and stones work? Don't they wash off?

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

DF- I dont want to get my mehindi done in front of everyone... :(

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

In that case devi's idea seems good!

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Yeah.... lol.... but how does the glitter and stone mehindi work?

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

So pretty!

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

hey, they just use normal liquid glitter i think and stick on some gem stones, but it washes off,

there is one glitter that does not come off for a week! i'm trying to find out about it, cause

that would save money as i want glitter wali mehndi on mehndi night and barrat, walima.

My makeup artist (Dil Matharu who i think is fab!) suggested that i get maybe just a dull gold

or sliver then just add stones each function to match my outfit>?? i dunno how easy is it to stick on

stones? thats if i find this semi permant one,

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Devi- Please let me know if you find out lol.

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

I think the idea of getting put on whilst all the girlies are dancing on your mehndi is really nice.. I would get my feet and arms done probably a day before the wedding day..

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Akh, you wouldnt do it before the mehindi?

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Nope I would get it done during the mehndi and rest of it the day after :) Im not sure why but I prefer it that way!

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Ic ic.

How does everyone feel about that? Are most gonna get it done during, the wedding and than the rest after?

I was thinking to get it done before, beacause I wanna take lots of pix during the mehindi?

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Dont u think it would be nice to get pics of ur mehndi being applied aswell.. then ul have an opportunity take pics of the full mehndi whilst its on fresh..? Just a thought :)

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Hmmm that's an idea. But i dont want too many pix of me getting ready u know... lol i sorta consider those private moments. If the photographer is there... all the aunties are gonna be there in my face lol.

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

Hey Devi123...pls let us know if u find a glitter mehndi tht stays on all week i wud luv tht...also if anyone knows the best mehndi to have u know the 1 that turns out dark the next day...like the ZUBADA MEHNDI...but i personaly think its not the same anymore..which is the other brand tht is just as good..??

Re: Mehindi- Getting it done

So black mehndi can cause permanent scarring?

lol DB NO! That wasnt the moral of the story although I didnt go on to read the thread so god knows what they went onto!

People were saying how tired they got getting their mehndi done and its really straining so maybe it is better to get the bulk of it done before and some for the photos on the day x
