I already know I'm not allergic to it - I've had it done before, I just can't seem to get it to work when I draw my own patterns.

Personally, I've used something to help "set" the henna mixture like lemon juice.
Leave the mehndi paste on for 4-6 hours, longer if you can. Over night is best.
Don't get your mehndi design wet until the next morning. Water on the design in the first 12 hours will stop the activation process.
Things that will shorten the life of your design are: hot tubs, swimming pools (because of the chemicals in the water). Shower normally but stay away from harsh soaps and scrubbing.

From the experience that I have had, store bought Henna doesn't really work that well. It's not as dark as when you get it done somewhere. I guess it depends on the ink that you buy.

Personally, I am allergic to it - so I would recommend one thing; don't get it done by a street vendor in Spain! *giggles*

Then get someone who knows what they're doing.
