What is the traditional Gulf henna look?

A solid filled circle in the palm and every fingertip filled solid, with nothing else on the hand.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Bold black uses thick black outlines with large solid filled areas. Fine detail uses a fine even line with netting and tiny dots. Henna brown draws the design as a reddish-brown stroke.

Can I ask for a change, such as both hands?

Yes. Type the change you want, such as both hands or gold accents; it is a request, and the picture may differ from these samples.

Are these photographs of henna on skin?

No. They are drawn design sheets on a hand outline, not photographs of henna applied to a hand.

Gulf henna runs from the old way, palms and fingertips dipped in solid color, to modern designs for Eid, weddings and everyday wear. It is the style of the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. These nine show a dipped palm, an Eid design of a crescent and star among bold flowers, and a dense bridal design covering hand and wrist. Type a change, such as gold accents, and the Gulf style carries it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
