#73 Gorgeous & Stylish Finger Mehndi Designs
Created using thin strokes, this gorgeous and stylish finger mehndi design is a thing of beauty. The thin strokes make it stunning and flawless, but this also means that it will take more time to draw. More so, thin strokes aren’t for women whose henna stain is generally on the lighter side, as thin strokes will even be lighter than the thickly outlined mehndi patterns.
#74 Whimsical Florals
We love the flowers on the tips of the henna here. It adds a fresh and whimsical charm to the design, just like any flower motif always does. Adorning just half of the finger, this design opens the gate of creativity to add to the same design or draw something on the palm to complete the pattern. It’s all up to your imagination and preferences.

The diagonal lines in this henna scream modernism and allure! We love how it looks so feminine without doing much, and it can be just the ideal addition to the bridesmaids’ inspiration board. One of the cutest finger mehndi designs to try.
