Not So Double Stuffed
Friday, September 17, 2010
Dunno, I've never liked Double Stuf Oreos. I could never get behind the ratio of sugary filling to chocolate cookie. It's an unbalanced scale, and will never win a place in my heart. I know, I'm probably one of the few that hates them, but what's new, I'm the odd one in the group...nothing wrong with that! :-D However, I DO love regular OREOs. Seriously, I swear they're the cure for insomnia, for hunger, for a sweet tooth, for everything. The bad thing is, once I start eating OREOs, I find it hard to stop, and before I know it, 1/3 of the package is gone. :) Oops. (They're SO GOOD) Today's manicure idea was a suggestion of Chris'. (apparently the OREO commercial was on at his house when I texted, contemplating what to do for today's nails) I did the OREO logo on my thumb, and close-ups of the printed side of the cookie on the index, middle, and pinky, with a stack of OREOs on the ring finger. Nom Nom Nom. (you know I did 'research' for this manicure)
I used MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious as a base for the cookie nails, mixed with American Apparel California Trooper to make the design/highlight, and mixed MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious with American Apparel Hassid to shade. On the ring finger, I used Essie Bone Chilling White as a base, with the same colors as above for the cookie parts. For the logo nail, I used ALDO Sea You in Ibiza as a base, with Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for the logo, and China Glaze Flyin' High for the teal outline. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
I think I'm going to go bite my nails. :-9

Well, I think I need a snack now....
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love the cookie part of the OREO. Could do without the cream, but it's all delicious =]
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for a while now and I am always excited to see your new design for the day. I just wanted to take the time to say that I LOVE this design very much. I am also an Oreo lover (the regular kind, of course! none of this double stuff nonsense). And now you've made me crave them! Which I don't mind, no, not at all.
ReplyDeleteOreo's are ok (I feel ya on the double stuffs) but always liked Hydrox cookies better. I don't think they make them anymore. Joe joe's are my new fav!
ReplyDeleteThis mani is adorable!
I'm not an avid fan of the double stuffed OREOs either. Too much cream filling thingy. Regular OREOs, on the other hand, are a-okay in my book! Nice manicure! I'm always amazed by your attention to details.
ReplyDeleteYour nail designs continue to amaze me! Even if I disagree w/ your thoughts regarding double stuf oreos :) The new cakesters are the best, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't like oreos at all, I can't stand the black cookie crumbs that remain all over my teeth, but I'm tempted to change all that- your nails are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOmg this is soooo prettyy !!

ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing mani! So creative! And it's making me so hungry. You *had* to post this mani just when I was having the worst chocolate craving, didn't ya? Thanks. :P (Kidding. I love your wonderful manis!)
ReplyDeleteI love Oreos, although I read somewhere that eating 1 oreo has the equal amount of fat as 6 peices of bacons.... weird.... So ya, I only eat them once in a while... usually when I am on vacation lol
ReplyDeleteYour design is AMAZING!! It literally blows my mind how good you can draw on your nails and stuff. Only think I can do is Konad, my free hand art... is very limited.. meaning I can only do stripes :P lol
LOVE YOUR BLOGGGGGG <3
OMG, Oreos are one of my weaknesses. Seriously, once I start, I just can't seem to stop. It's gotten to the point that I don't even bring them into the house anymore! Now I wanna nomnomnom on your nails!
ReplyDeleteAlso, since you've brought me so much sunshine, I wanted to pass a little bit back to you. So, I've given you a sunshine award! (It's in my latest post, titled Yay, I got a Sunshine Award!) I hope it brings you a bit of joy... it's only fair, since you've brightened so many of my days!
Very clever!
ReplyDeleteYum!!
ReplyDeleteYummy :)
ReplyDeleteIf u dont bite i will haha..
ReplyDeleteI love Oreo!
Crazy good detail! And I think it's some kind of Twilight Zone phenomena regarding the Oreo bag that always ends up 1/3 empty right after you open it. The same thing happens to me. So WEIRD!
ReplyDeleteAWESOMEEE!!! I totally with you about the double-stuffed!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, as usual. But now I have a craving. Thanks! ;o)
ReplyDelete"research" eh? yeah right, lol
ReplyDeleteyou make me want to eat oreo's so badly!
ReplyDeleteOreos always tasted like dirt to me. Oh well, more for you all. Really nice job on the nails.
ReplyDeleteomg so clever , love it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so cute! You amaze me!
ReplyDeletexoxo
this is sortof ramdom but what kind of nail polish remover
ReplyDeletedo you use?
AHHH!!! I love Oreos!! And this manicure is friggin amazing. Funny story, I was pretty drunk last night and all I wanted were oreos...I persisted that someone buy me some, but no luck :(
ReplyDeleteThis and the Sock Monkey nails are my favorite by far!
ReplyDeleteI love your site!! :-D
ReplyDeleteMy question is: How do you keep the paint from getting lumpy on the nail? When I do designs it's like 3-D, or a topographic map! Is it the polish, the brush, the technique? Any suggestions?
Thanks! Vicki
GREAT. THANKS A LOT. I just ruined my diet cause i went to the grocery store and I had Oreos on my mind from this post.
ReplyDeleteI'll forgive you because they are tasty and because your designs are so awesome :) hehehe
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome!
ReplyDeleteI heartily agree with you about the double stuffed Oreos. I feel the same about them changing the ration on Reese's Peanut butter cups. Don't mess with the ratio!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome nails, of course!
I meant changing the ratio, not ration- D'oh!
ReplyDeleteLove oreos and the nails are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYUMMY http://i-love-nail-art.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI would love to be out and about and find someone with Oreos on their nails. Haha, you're probably like the only one that does this though.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you come up with your ideas?!? They are so fun!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! Stop in and link them up in my Happy 100th Birthday Party for Oreo! I'd be honored to have your awesome nail design attend the party! http://cafescrapper-scrapsoflife.blogspot.com/2012/02/happy-100-birthday-oreo-cake-blog-link.html
ReplyDeleteIf you have anything else Oreo, feel free to link up! I"m promoting the party like crazy :)
