I was sitting around trying to get in the Holiday spirit by Googling different Holiday things. I kept running across Gingerbread Houses, and it made me hungry. I wanted to eat them. But THEN! Thoughts of Sugarplums, Fairies and Dottis were dancing through my head! Why not paint them on my nails?! You too can have yummy nails by following this quick, easy guide!

Supplies You’ll Need:

A Base Coat

A Spicy Brown – I used Revlon’s “Totally Toffee”

A Plain White – I used O.P.I.’s “Alpine Snow”

5 Rainbow Colors of your choice – I used green, orange, purple, blue, and red

Dotting tool – One medium sized head and one smaller sized head

A Top Coat

Achieve the Look:

Slather on that top coat. Once dry, add a few layers of your spicy tan/brown lacquer until opaque. Let dry.

Place a few drops of white on a piece of paper. Dip your medium-sized dotting tool into the white and dot several dots on the tips of two of your nails (I chose my thumb and pinky). Then, dot a row at the top near your cuticles on another nail and add some dots in a small design at the tip of the same nail (I chose my middle finger). Then, dot on the shape of a door on another nail (I chose my ring finger), and a window on your last nail (I chose my pointer finger). Be semi-generous with the amount of polish on the dotting tool. White doesn’t dot well, so sometimes you have to re-dot gently and layer the color. Let dry.

Finally, place a few drops of your first color onto the paper. Use the dotting tool with the smaller head to carefully add dots of smaller sizes inside the white dots. This is your “candy”. Choose the order at random.

Wait until COMPLETELY DRY (Between 30 minutes to an hour), and apply a generous top coat. Be careful to glide the brush over the color as opposed to paint it on as to not smudge or smear your dotticure.

Voila! There you have a yummy, sweet and super easy Gingerbread Dotticure! Share your versions in the comments section and, as always, let me know what else you’d like to see here at Lacq-Attacq!

Have a nomnomable day!!
