Little Tiny Haul

I went to Rite Aid today because I saw on Facebook that someone said they had Sally Hansen on clearance. They did but it wasn't anything that I wanted. However when I walked in I saw a small display of magnetic polishes! I was surprised because my Rite Aid is pretty small. I looked the colors and found 2 I liked. I would have picked up more but at $8 each I couldn't afford it right now.
The magnetic polishes each came with two magnets. Wavy lines and diagonal lines. I am not sure if the other colors may have different magnets because that wasn't something I thought about until I was already home. They also don't have color names, which I don't really like.

Then while wandering around I saw that there was a Whimsical in the Revlon display. I am not really fond of it but I picked it up because I figure I could trade it or something.

So that is my small Rite Aid haul today. Did you get anything new today?

New Name and Domain!

Hello my lovely readers!
I just wanted to let you know that Polished & Not Quite Put Together has a new name! It is The Polished Pixie
The url has also changed to www.polishedpixie.com
Please change bookmarks if you have them.
The links from the old url should still be forwarded to the new one so hopefully that works well.

revamping the blog

Hey guys,
If you come around in the next few days the blog may be a bit messy. I am going to be revamping things a bit..including a new name. I won't have many polish posts during that time, but will have a guest post over at Jenn's at some point in the future.  Hopefully it won't take more than a day or two to get it all done. :)

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry with Stamping

If you've been reading the last week or so you will know that I have been looking for a good polish for stamping. A couple of people have said that Sally Hansen Insta-Dry polishes work well, so when I was contacted to review some Sally Hansen products that is what I picked. I got quite a few, so today I am going to show you about half of them. Please ignore my stamping ability in these pictures and just look at the polish. I'm still practicing stamping. :) 

Big Nail Mail Day!

I got a great nail mail package from Jenn today, plus a couple other packages this last week or so! 

Nail Polish Tag

Jessica at Sun-Dried Lacquer tagged me in nail polish tag.

You should go check out her blog. 

She is a new blogger so doesn't have a lot of posts yet. 

She does have a Valentines contest going on though!

Blackened Bleu Zebras

This is Barielle's Blackened Bleu. Jenn bought it for me when they were having a sale one time. 

It took 3 coats to get a nice coverage but it is so worth it! It is an absolutely beautiful polish. I am surprised that I haven't seen it on more blogs. I think that everyone should own this one. It is a gorgeous dark navy blue with a sapphire shimmer. Barielle says it is a black base, but to me it has a blue undertone, so not fully black.

Blog Sale at I'm Still Thinking..Check it out!

Jenn over at I'm Still Thinking... is selling off her polish collection. She is trying to get together some bill money so she opened up her stash for people to buy from. I'm sure you all know how hard that has to be to do.

Comparison: Wet N Wild Disturbia, Zoya Tru, and Zoya Lotus

On yesterday's post Kaki from Glitter Obsession mentioned wanting to know how Wet N Wild Disturbia compares with Zoya Tru and Zoya Lotus. Since I have all three I figured I would do a comparison for her (and you guys) today.

Wet N Wild Disturbia & Dollish Polish Aurora Borealis

Today I got a package from Dollish Polish. I was surprised that it got here as fast as it did. I ordered it late on the 17th. I ordered the Fire In The Night Sky polish trio.

A Years Challenge - Week 4 - Plaid

We are on week 4 of the 52 week challenge that Jenn posted about. Still a long way to go. :)

I have a list of every weeks challenges here: Year Challenge

You can go and look at it and decide if you would like to join. It is nice because it is only one challenge a week. 

Butter London and Stamping

When I get a new toy (my stamping kit) I play with it a lot for the first week or so, which means I took off yesterdays stamping manicure and tried again. I figured this would also be a good time to try stuff in my untried drawer.

Stamping Thanks To My Husband

I know I mentioned that my husband has seizures, but what comes along with those is memory loss. So when he told me that he had bought me a stamping kit that he saw in a catalog I didn't have the heart to tell him that Jenn had already sent me stuff, and that he knew it at one point. He was so proud that he found it on his own and afraid that I wouldn't like it.

A Years Challenge - Week 3

This week was Color Block. I looked it up and had many great ideas about what to do. Unfortunately I didn't have time. This is what I came up with.

My Memories Software Review and Giveaway!

I had seen the My Memories Suite Software reviewed on another blog and really wanted to win their giveaway, but alas I did not. :(  So you can imagine my excitement when I woke up the other morning and I had an email from the company asking if I wanted to review their software and hold a giveaway! 

Now I know you might not be into scrapbooking and thinking that you have no need for this software, but you do! I used this scrapbooking software to make the blog header I am using right now.

Painted Nails and Cancer

A little while ago Jackie Clark from the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance contacted me about doing a guest post. I have never had a guest blogger but pretty much anything cancer related speaks to my heart. While I have not known anyone with Mesothelioma other forms of cancer have touched people in my life. 

A Year's Challenge - week 2- French Tips

Jenn over at I'm Still Thinking.... posted about this challenge last week or so. It is like the 31 Day Challenge but you only have one challenge a week for a year. I really hope I can stick with it. lol!

Take Your Tops Off!

The other day I posted this picture: 

Weight Loss and Nail Polish

I believe that in a post somewhere I mentioned that I used to weigh 260+ pounds. I didn't allow my picture to be taken much then but my boyfriend at the time took this one of me while we were at the amusement park with my boys. Sadly this wasn't even the biggest I got. 

100 Things I Love - Part 6

It is time for another 10 things I love from the 100 things I love challenge. 

If you haven't seen the other posts about these they are here:

 Part 1, Part 2, Part 3,  Part 4, and Part 5

Zoya Fleck Effects Trio

I wasn't expecting to get the newest Zoya collection to review so imagine my surprise when my mother-in-law came downstairs yesterday with a package that the Fed Ex man delivered. I knew there was no way that it was the 2 Zoyas that I ordered on their promo since I had only done that hours before. Since I did get them I am going to review the Fleck Effects Trio for you today and will work on swatching the rest of the collection over the next few days. 

SinfulColors Holiday Wish Collection

I finally found my camera that had the pictures of this collection on them. I have been using my cell phone for the last few posts. lol! 

City Color - Orange

I saw these at Rite Aid and had to have a couple. I loved that the handle is like twice the length of the bottle!

Nail Mail!

I made it on my No Buy for about 12 hours! I am just not good with self control. Since I couldn't do it I got Nail Mail today!!

My NYE Manicure

I had 4 boys here on NYE, ages ranging from 5-12. There was a lot of video game playing going on. lol!
I new I wasn't going to be going anywhere so I just did something simple.

The Winner Is...

If you read my Shipping Woes post you would have seen that I had a flash giveaway at the bottom. I had 16 people respond and had Iven pick the winner.
