Henna as Part of a Manicure Henna has been used to color fingernails since the Bronze Age. The color is permanent and will not chip off, though your fingernails will grow out. It takes about a month to six weeks for henna to grow out to the tips of your nails.

If you also henna your fingertips, the skin will be stronger and may stain nearly black.

However, henna stains on fingernails do not interfere with oxygen readings.
