Ingredients:  
1 cup soft butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Red decorating gel
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in the egg and extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Divide dough into fourths. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.

Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll the pieces into 1 inch balls. Shape the balls into 3 inch by 1/2 inch fingers. Using the flat tip of a table knife, make an indentation on one end of each finger for the fingernail. With a knife, make three slashes in the middle of each finger for the knuckle. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes; watch closely as you don't want them to bake to long and get real brown.

Cool for 3-4 minutes. Squeeze a small amount of red gel on the nail bed/cuticle; press a sliced almond over the gel which is your nail- allowing the gel to ooze out from under it.
