Beautiful Results!
I purchased this product after a long-time curiosity of mehndi. I was not sure if I preferred a true henna or a jagua, but I knew that I liked the way my "henna" tattoo from the boardwalk looked. I found this kit and thought that it would be perfect for my first attempt at this art form. I was not disappointed!The kit includes:--a 4 ounce bottle of jagua gel (which needs to be refrigerated for better shelf life)--1 squeeze bottle top with lid (for the 4 ounce bottle to dispense into the smaller bottle)--1 small (1/2 ounce) squeeze bottle for creating designs--4 design tips in various sizes--3 sheets of transfer designs--1 bottle of stencil transfer oilI will admit that I did not try the transfers and oil. I did freehand work immediately. The 4 ounce bottle is a bit difficult to squeeze, but I also have the beginnings of arthritis so my hand strength is not as strong as it once was. The 1/2 ounce bottle is very easy to squeeze and comfortable to use.I suggest reading all of the included information and even reading/watching videos online before beginning to work with these types of products.Remember that if you are already working on a design on skin and decide you do not like it, wiping it off will still leave ink on your skin as it begins to stain immediately. You may not see it, but it will appear the following day and look like a gray smear across the skin. However, you can cleverly disguise it with a piece drawn over top of it that will end up appearing shaded.Be sure that if you are doing leg work the person receiving the tattoo has used the restroom before you begin. Otherwise, they may need to wait hours to "go" in order to prevent damage to your work (or be quite graceful in their movements when trying to pull down their pants)!As you can see from my images, I am a beginner and need a lot of practice to create smooth lines. I am very happy with how well this product works and how easy it is to use. Will definitely buy again and suggest it to anyone who has an interest in using it themselves!

Pictures speak louder than words...
I went back and forth for about a month on whether or not to buy. Watched a few videos on YouTube and decided to go for it. I'm dark skinned and it was so light at first but couldn't barely see it. I woke up the next day and it looked like I had a new tattoo overnight. So sweet!Read the instructions though. Even a small drop after you wipe it off will become a spot in the morning at best. At worst it'll just mess up your design. This stuff in legit and it works. Be patient when applying and don't be messy. Heed my advice on this... I'm serious about the patience. Just saying.Stencils worked great as a base. I drew more as I extended it. The designs are cute. I accidentally put the design on crooked the first time. I wiped it off and reapplied with the solution and stencil. It worked again only a minute after using it the first time. I'm really surprised how easy this process was. And I'm really excited to continue with this product. Make sure you get it in the refrigerator as soon as possible. Also, A little bit goes a long way. I recommend starting with the smaller nozzle they provide and working your way up once you get more comfortable. You can always add more, but putting on too much won't stop it from staining your skin one way or the other.Lastly, If you find that there are some lighter spots on your design the next day just reapply in the lighter areas which should be few and far in between. Wash it off and you'll be good to go.The stencil made their original photo look darker. But afterwards you can't even tell the difference.

Not bad but not as good as I'd hoped
Product was kinda runny/thin even after shaking if I had it out longer than 10 minutes. In my first pic it's fresh henna, second pic is after 2 days. On the third day I did a second layer because I didn't see any change (it reads that it takes 48hrs) now (6days later) it looks like I drew on myself with sharpie. I did a second design on my hand, only 1 layer, and after 4 days it faded significantly. Some fading was expected due to washing my hands but I've had normal henna last longer.

Easy to use and please READ THE DIRECTIONS
Love it i was a bit skeptical on the color but over time (about 12 hours i would say because i tryed it about 30 mins before 9pm and waited for it to dry washed per DIRECTIONS and went to bed woke up and it was very dark) it realy does turn dark but after it dryes and you wash it its a oxidized penny color then it gets dark over the next 12+hours. I even tried it on my 12yo daughter (we both had no skin reaction) and she had the same amazing color and we had zero problems. And it realy is the same color as a black seasoned tattoo. Will be buying again and again.***(update this is an amazing product im very extremely happy with everything about this a must try for anyone who is artistic or wants to test out a tattoo idea i even went over my existing tattoos and brightened them up)

Would recommend
I love the Jagua Gel so much I use it on my siblings and I. It stains like a very dark blue almost black. It does stain pretty instantly so if you make a mistake you have to be as quick as possible getting it off. Doesn't come out of clothing or furniture real well so while you let it sit and a few hours after whole the color develops try not to have it against anything. I get lots of compliments and people asking if the tattoos are real. This set does come with a really tiny bottle of transfer solution but I started using just straight eucalyptus oil which worked just as well. I also printed off a couple stencils of my own to use. Overall great product would recommend. Be sure to refrigerate it, I noticed if I left it out to long the color wouldn't come out as well.
