Orange fingers

[Sexyred]

question for all the people out there that does henna.....I made the mistake of touching the henna mix with my fingers now they are a nice orangey color...has this ever happened to any one? Is it permanent? sorry for the stupid question but it is driving me crazy..any help

The tips of my fingers are still stained orange from last night..... and my fingernails look all dirty and gross. Im quite sure this will be gone by the end of the day, or tomorrow latest.

Wish the Henna took to my hair the way it takes to my skin! Im still having trouble getting the color to release!!!

ETA: And p.s., welcome to the board girly!!!!!

Now I can stop freaking out. thanks a lot for the reply. your right I wish this didn't happen.. this being my first time doing henna I'll be more careful next time

Yeah, the henna will catch you if you aren't careful - it'll fade away from the skin on your hands in a day or two...the nails might take a little longer, depending on how dark they are....

I use gloves for application and the initial rinse now. Henna will stain nails and skin too. It'll go away in a couple of days.

Mine wore off from the initial bright orange, but it took a while (weeks) for the color to completely fade.
