Please Read :) Major Blog Change...

Hi Everyone,

I just recently updated my email address here at ThePolishHoochie Blog. During this transition, things are going to change a little for the blogs I was 'following'.

Since I had to change my email address, all the people I was following on the OLD email address need to be deleted and transfered to the NEW email address. This is not a simple task, and will take several days to complete.

If I was following your blog, and now no longer seem to be that just means I am in the process of un-following you with the old email address and re-following you with the new email address. I will let you all know when I'm done so If I don't re-follow you then you know I accidental missed you.  When I'm finished the transition, I will have a new post up where you can add your blog address for me to follow again if I did indeed miss you.

I'm really sorry for the confusion guys, but my my old email address had to go :) Thanks for the patience in my transition of email accounts.

Lots of fun stuff :) Please read me

I'm back from my birthday weekend. My surprise birthday trip was to St. Louis (2 hours from me). It was super fun! The day of my Birthday we spent the whole day at the Zoo. My SO knows me so well, I loved it. I moved here from NY to the Mid-West about 7 years ago, and every time we travel to St Louis I ALWAYS say we should go to the Zoo. So, this was the perfect gift :) I stayed in an awesome hotel for 2 nights, and also had an amazing Birthday dinner. Lots of Fun!!! 

After my Birthday is done, my head usually jumps right to Halloween which is my FAVORITE of all Holidays lol.  There are tons of Indie polishes coming out, and it's a whirlwind of ordering for me. Tomorrow is Trelly's M.I.S.C at 12noon CST. Mark your calendars guys. This is the set I have most anticipated this Halloween. There are 10 polishes in her set and she has posted bottle shots for most of them on her blog. Check a few of them out below...

The rest can be seen on her blog HERE with nail wheel swatches too :) I can not wait to get my hands on these. Mark your calendars girls, I ain't missing these :) 

Also, since I'm all excited about Trelly's my next swatches here will be her polishes that I currently have - Shark Bait, Sunset Boat Ride, Love Always Shines and Watermelon Rind-Stone. Please stay tuned for those. 

I also have a ton of new Naild'it polishes that I will be swatching!! So you wanna watch for those as well. It will be very busy here at ThePolishHoochie :) 

I also have 2 giveaway's going. One that runs to the end of the month for 400 Blog Followers HERE and the next (which will be up soon) is for 200 Facebook Likes at ThePolishHoochie Facebook. Both giveaways will be post here in my left sidebar where I will house all the current PolishHoochie Giveaways going at one time.

Phewwww - that was a lot. Thank you for reading!

Blogger of the Month .....

Evening everyone! I hope everyone is having a safe and happy Friday. Hurricane Isaac has effected so many people in the last several days. He was here all day today in Missouri, and is creating flooding and lots of Tornado Watches/Warnings for the evening. If you are in his path, please be safe!

On to today's post... I wanted to share this with you all. Not to long ago Alexis from 

approached me about featuring me as Blogger of the Month on her blog for September. How exciting!!! I can not tell you how flattered I was by this.  Here is the Link to the BOTM post featuring none other than ME lol :)

This blog is fabulous and I'm so glad she approached me and made herself known to me. If you are not following this blog, you are really missing the boat. Her nails are gorgeous and she has great pictures. Let's show her some love and follow her :) 

Thanks again Alexis! You made my weekend :)

New Facebook Page and more info....

Today I redecorated a little bit. 

* I have removed my link to Instagram. I really do not use it at all and I have also been seeing a lot of complaints about stolen pictures from other bloggers. I really don't want to open that can of worms - so I nixed my Instagram link. 

* I have a new FACEBOOK PAGE ---- wooohooo! Click below and LIKE me :) 

LIKE ME ON FACEBOOK 

The page is really really new. I just started it today, but I plan on adding a lot in the next several days. I get a lot of nail mail that I do not show on my blog, but I will be showing on my Facebook. I will be adding lots of things that my blog will not showcase. I currently only have 2 likes, and look forward to seeing you all join me there.

* We are getting close to 400 followers here (wooohoo). Once we hit 400 I will be having an awesome giveaway here, so stay tuned - we are real close!

Thanks for visiting :)

Lost in Outerspace :(

Sorry about my long absence. The most horrible of all horrible things has happened, and it kept me away from my blog. 

My Sweet beloved cat of 5 years, Maddie, went missing :( I let her outside like I usually do (afternoon time), and she never showed back up again. I am absolutely devastated about it. I spent weeks posting missing signs with a reward, I spread flyers to all my neighbors, I visited every vet in a 30 mile radius with flyers, and even ran lost ads in my local papers. I live out in the country and I think something got her in the woods :(( My heart is totally broken about it. I have cried so much, I can not even put it into words. I miss her so much. 

It was a pretty traumatic thing for me. It kept me away from blogging. I went threw a really hard time.  It's taken me a bit, but I'm wanting to blog again. 

I'm going away on vacation soon and I will be polishing my nails for that trip. I will post all my vaycay nails here! I also got a few beauty products I want to review as well.  Sorry to all my followers that have wondered where I was. 

Thanks for staying! Stay tuned for some real blog posts :)

Challenge for 2012 & upcoming GIVEAWAY

A few announcements:

Here are the details of my personal blog challenge for 2012. 

I want to tackle my untried nail polishes. My collection is close to about 325 bottles and 90% is untried!!!  My day for doing this will be Saturday/Sunday. These are the only true days I have off work.  Each Saturday/Sunday I will be using an untried and posting it here. 

I know for most this doesn't seem like a hard challenge of once a week, but for someone that has 2 jobs - it is lol! It will only make a small dent in my untrieds, but it's a start :) 

I still want to purchase new polishes, so if they are used they will be posted during the week. Stay tuned, this Saturday will be the start of this, and untried #1.

Also, I'm getting close to 200 followers (Wow)! When I started this all I never imagined I would get that many followers. I love it! I'm going to be having a 200 followers giveaway - Including International followers as well. I have different ideas of what polish I will have in the giveaway, so as it approaches I will let you guys know when it starts and what will be up for grabs.  

I don't like anything too complicated for giveaways so easy rules will apply.  Post my giveaway on your Blog, leave a comment, and finally answer a simple nail related question. That's it :)

Start date to be announced (19 more followers to go for 200)!!!
