With a small brush paint the almonds with food colouring and set aside.
Pre-heat oven to 180º.
Cream butter with sugar and vanilla. Add egg and mix well. Fold in flour and mix. The dough should be firm and easy to mold. Take pieces of dough and shape into fingers. Place a piece of painted almond on the tip for the nail. With a knife make a few dents to imitate the knuckles. With the help of a toothpick, dot some jam/jelly around the almond to give the fingernail a messy look. Bake for 15 minutes until golden coloured.
