There is a new mendhi people are using for their nails, it contains a terrible smell, something like tabacco mendhi are we allowed to use it or not

Question

The colour of the mendhi is beautiful but the smell is terrible and it only last for a week

Answer

The use of Mendhi for women on their nails and hands is not only
permissible, but it is also preferable. However, if you are uncomfortable
with the smell of this specific type of Mendhi, then you may leave it out
and use whatever you are comfortable with.
