This is what our Arabic henna dreams are made of. Unique, to say the least!

That dark stain, though

If you thought the Arabic henna pattern could not be intricate, think again. The choice is yours, to go with a 'bel' or an entire hand artwork.

How can we miss the 'bel'

This pattern is an integral part of the front Arabic mehandi design. If you think it is too simple for a wedding, we're totally cheering for this one on a Roka!
