I didn't think it smelled that bad. Why do you need to wear gloves if your nails are colored?

Sorry, don't have time to follow the recent postings, just saw this and had to post it before I forgot:

Ah, the answer to no nail polish!

Haven't ever tried it, but it's something to look into.

YAY!!! I didn't realize it comes in so many colors! That is awesome! Thanks Jenn!!!

After KH mentioned henna in another part of the thread I asked hubby if he'd get some for me there. He said he didn't like henna on toes, but I'm thinking he hasn't seen this! Woohoo!

SHHHHH don't tell hubby, but im gonna order some!!!!!

oooohhhhhhh! You gotta tell me how it works Terrie! If it looks like polish, I wanna get some too!

Henna stain may look nice (in other colors besides the rusty orangey brown) for a little while but once your nails start growing out it's hideous. I've had henna done and gotten it on my nails. It took months to grow out of my nails...not pleasant.

To hide the hideousness of your nails as they grow while the henna stain is still there.

Of course you could probably put more stain on there but then would you want the same color on there constantly? And what if your nails appear two toned when you put more stain on it? Honestly, I wouldn't do it.

I'm just doin it for my toes. I don't want to do it for my nails on my hands! Tina i will let you know!

Oh wow. I didn't realize the henna would last that long on the nails. I know on the skin it only lasts a week or two.

lol. that reason too. my thinking was more along the lines of the no makeup/adornment kind of thing in front of guys i'm not married/related to. but yeah, the grow out on that is probably really ugly. not worth it.

I'm with you Terrie. I don't do my fingernails anyway. But the toes, yes! Thanks for keeping me in the loop!

Does anyone here have the Yusuf Islam f/k/a Cat Stevens CD "A is for Allah"? If not, and if you're planning on teaching your youngsters about Islam or raising them as Muslims it's really great. I ran across my copy of it (cassette form)while going through some boxes in my basement so I thought I'd bring it up. I used to play it in the car for my boys when they were little. Cat has a very soothing voice so I also enjoyed listening to it.

Oh and speaking of Cat...has anyone seen his VH1 Behind the Music? It's from several years ago but it was brilliant.

I always loved Cat Stevens. His songs are brilliant and truly touch the soul.

I don't have it but I have it bookmarked. I think Rajaa had it on her FB at one time.

Quick question...is it haram, or is there anything in the Koran that says it's wrong to celebrate birthdays? I mean something like having birthday parties for your children...just curious if it is a cultural thing or if it's religion-based.

Thanks for any insight you can give me!

This is a long debated issue and even the imam of our masjids was arguing about celebrating the prophets birthday. I think the main argument is that ALLAH SWT gave us 2 holidays in the Qur'an and some say every other holiday is forbidden. I honostly don't know but we celebrate birthdays in my house...

My husband told me that in Morocco only the woman's birthday is celebrated not the men.

Maybe more celebrated but at least in my family they sometimes do. Today they celebrated my grandpa's 80th birthday
