Mehndi is an excellent way of making yourself catchy and distinguishing in the crowd. Complementing the gorgeous look of it with a classic Indian saree, any lady is definite to look ethereally beautiful. Fortunately, mehndi designs can be flaunted in western attires as well, provided you make the right selection. Presently, much preferred by the westerns who relate this art form to tattoos, they prefer sporting a small patch of design on their palms or around the bare ankles. Small, and less complex ones not only look subtle, but are great at grabbing attention if they are placed at the strategic point.

While Indian mehndi designs are simple to complex, the Arabic ones are even simpler with mostly veins, leaves and flowers drawn in a simple design that extends till the forearms and shanks. Arabic designs are drawn with only outlines and do not involve filling of patterns to keep it simple and classy. They dry easily and take very little time to draw. The African mehndi designs are the most dense ones, but flaunt the same outline style of Arab. Composed of clean geometric shapes like, square, spheres, dots, lines, curves, etc. they are drawn densely and closely, resembling a mesh. The Pakistani ones are the most complex of them all, and are hence, preferred only in weddings and festivals.

The acrylic nail tips are artificial nail extensions that can be adorned wishfully. You can paint them with desired colors, shape them as you wish and even add an effect to them by embedding object having three dimensional effects. It is best to receive a like service at a nail salon before trying them at home.
