1. I spilled nail polish on the carpet. I tried to scrape it off but it (had) bolted (or dried, hardened) too quickly for me to do that. Now the carpet is a bit abrasive there.

2. How much do you estimate it at?(for instance a price for something) I'm not sure about the preposition 'at'.

Are these sentences correct?:) And one more thing, is it possible to change my username? Thank you for your help.

If you did not register via Facebook or another social medium, then it may be possible. What name would you like? I will attempt to make that change.

Thank you so much. I should have read it first before I posted it. 'For me to do that' is really a bit redundant here and it sounds weird as well.

Unfortunately, I didn't register via Facebook but I simply created an account here. I don't want to bother you with that. If it's not much of a problem, I'd change it to Anna20.

Anna20 I'd change it to Anna20
I have done so, but please keep an eye on it; some bug in our software has made name changes only temporary in some instances.

I tried to log in under the new username right after you posted this, but it didn't seem to be working.

Yes, it seems to have 'bounced back' to your old name. I'm sorry; it is a glitch in our software. I suggest that you either keep Tezz20 or follow CalifJim's advice above.
