The Story of A Gingerbread Man
Once upon a time, an old woman in the city lived with her husband in a very old house, both of them loved each other very much and used to distribute all their work together. One day an old woman made gingerbread in the shape of a man. When she cooked bread in the oven, the gingerbread in the shape of a man jumped out of the tray and ran towards the window. He jumped out of the window and shouted,” I am a gingerbread man, Do not eat me. ”The old couple tried to chase him but he ran so fast that they could not catch him.
A pig saw him running. The pig said,” Stop, I would like to eat your gingerbread.” The bread man ran faster and said to the pig,” I am gingerbread man, you can not catch me.” A crow saw him. The crow said,” Stop, I would like to eat your bread.” The bread man ran faster and said to the crow,” I am gingerbread man, you can not catch me.” Then a horse ran behind him to catch him. Now they all were chasing the gingerbread man.
He came near the side of a river. He feared that if he entered the water, he would become soggy. A clever fox pretended to be nice and showed him that he wanted to help him in crossing the river. The ginger man bread believed him. As soon as he reached near to the fox, he tossed him up and ate him.
How to Get Gingerbread Nails?
Which shade of brown you want to use is up to you. The color should be dark brown and medium brown.
Steps:
Start your gingerbread man manicure art with a primer.
A neutral chocolate brown nail color is used here. Paint all your nails the brown nail color of your choice. (2 floors)
After drying, use the stippling tool to draw three dots in the center of each fingernail (inspired by buttons), except for the ring nails, with red nail color.
Now, paint a small bow tie with the appropriate green nail color at the beginning of each fingernail to leave the ring fingernail intact.
Draw two dots and a smile on the ring finger with white nail color (like the two eyes and smile of a gingerbread man).
Draw a white background with white nail color so that it looks like the face and upper body of a gingerbread man. (Ref)
If you want your gingerbread man nail art to last longer, don't apply a layer of nail polish at the end.
You can have extra creativity while doing this art of nail art, you can try to make a whole cute little gingerbread man on your ring finger. Feel free to experiment!
Ways to Get Gingerbread Nails
If you are interested in nail art and want to recreate these looks at home, you first need a set of nail art. I say nail art set because if you're just a beginner, you may need different tools like brushes, foil, rhinestones, etc. If you ask me, I think the easiest option is a nail kit. If you're an intermediate or professional, then I wouldn't recommend you use these combinations, but – you probably already know.
Another trick is to use nail decals. They are so easy to apply and you can choose from a thousand different styles, and mix and match them. With nail decals, you always have full freedom. Just play with them however you want to. Create different looks and how fun.
Finally, you can opt for press-on nails. They are also easy to apply and remove, and they won't damage your natural nails. The only downside may be ease of use and practicality, but if you prefer the short version, I'm sure you won't have any problems.
