excellent layout and indepth information and designs

I found this book to be one of very few books that had such detailed history and background information on the ancient art. The book layout was excellent and well planned which really helps a beginner like myself to adjust withou getting confused. The sections are easy to understand and follow and is great for people who are new to this art. The mixture of designs is good you get a good balance of traditional mixed with modern the kit was tricky but if you follow the instructions works!! But buy this book for it's rich knowledge and by the way the cover is wow!!! and probably the only one with an asian model on it. My congrats to the wonderful author of this great piece of work and are there any other titles by her???

THE BOOK IS GOOD-------THE KIT IS DANGEROUS!

I am a professional mehndi artist and I have a problem with the kit alone because it contains some ingredients that are not safe. The traditional oils for mehndi are Eucalyptus or Clove oil. The kit contains Terpinol (a very close relative of turpentine) to mix with the henna. It's not safe at all. Other than that, I think the book was nice and informative.
