Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to continue showing you how to do some gilding and crystals to enhance your henna design. Again, just squeezing very gently and spreading it around with the tip. You're going to want to be careful not to knock the henna paste off as you do this, cause then it wouldn't be staining your skin. What we're doing with the gilding paste here is actually just accenting the henna for the day that it has been applied. The gilding will come off over time just over the day that you apply it. It's just kind of a little bit of extra sparkle to make it special for that one day that you applying it. The henna however, will last for a week to three weeks. Just going to go in carefully not knocking off the henna and then you can just switch colors. Going to go in with the gold a little bit and use parts of the leaf bits. It is okay if you go over the henna, that's fine as long as you don't knock it off. Actually what the gilding paste will do is seal the henna in there, so it's actually good to go over it with the gilding paste. Sometimes even though you though you were done with an area you might want notice you need a little something like right here in the center of this flower. You actually need one of our pink crystals and you put a little paste there so that they'll stick. Go in again with your tweezers, then get it carefully, just place it in the center like that and you can push down on the crystal a little bit so that it stays in there. It gets nicely adhesive of the gilding paste."
