Paint at least 2 coats of colour.
Use a dotting tool to apply white candy shell to the edge of any broken part. You can also use a brush or even a toothpick could work.
Use a brush to apply the milk chocolate color inside the white area trying to leave only a thin layer of white showing.
Using your brush, dotter or toothpick, paint in the white areas of the eyes, the letter m and any teeth.
Using a paint pen, brush, dotter, or marker use black to outline the eye area and the mouth. If the mouth is open colour the inside black.
Add a black dot for the eyeball and to add any eyebrows.
Use a dotter or brush with red paint to make a tongue.
Once you are done with final touch-ups you are ready to apply sealer.All done and ready to display!
