A wool felt witch hat is a classic and iconic accessory often associated with Halloween and the image of a witch. Made from high-quality wool felt, these hats are crafted to perfection to create a stylish and authentic look. The material of wool felt offers numerous benefits, such as its durability and ability to retain its shape. It ensures that the hat maintains its structure, even after being worn or stored for a long time. Additionally, wool felt is known for its softness, providing a comfortable fit for the wearer. These witch hats usually feature a tall, pointed crown and a wide brim, creating a distinctive silhouette that is instantly recognizable.
Woodsy, Whimsical Holiday Decor with Au Petit Salon
Ginny Stalker, owner and designer of Au Petit Salon , a boutique online interior decorating service, has been gathering inspiration for holiday décor since the summer (she readily admits to being the kind of person who’s busily pinning Christmas wreath inspo in July).
“My favorite part of the holidays has always been decorating,” says Stalker. “I have memories of staying up late with my parents, drinking hot cocoa, listening to ‘The Bells of Dublin’ and decorating the tree.”
“It was always so magical. I want to pass that magic on to my son and create new memories and holiday traditions with him.”
On one of these endless hunts for inspiration, Stalker came across SmithHönig on Instagram and was immediately hooked on our bold color and fanciful patterns. And the love is mutual – we adore her creativity and charm and are thrilled to partner with her on “Sugar Plum Fairy Forest,” the décor theme she has crafted for her home this holiday season.
Ginny Stalker’s “Sugar Plum Fairy Forest” holiday décor theme using SmithHönig’s bold color and fanciful patterns.
Now, what exactly is “Sugar Plum Fairy Forest”? For Stalker, it means warm pink, orange and purple dancing against the backdrop of her lush indoor plants, which create a dramatic, woodsy element for the colors to pop against. It means vintage bits and bobbles and tassels aplenty, strewn throughout to create an enchanted wonderland perfect for hosting family and making memories.
“Most of my home has white painted walls so I use color everywhere else to jazz it up,” says Stalker. “My fabrics, wallpaper, rugs, and art are all vibrant and that’s what I love about SmithHönig’s pieces: They are full of whimsical elements.”
For Stalker, Sugar Plum Fairy Forest means warm shades, vintage bits and bobbles and tassels aplenty.
And for the holidays, Stalker is all about whimsy, amping up the color and layering in unexpected touches to create sprinkles of seasonal magic. She uses the same dialed up approach with greenery, bringing home a few new plants to add to her personal woodland, which is the foundation of every design. For this holiday season, her forest of greenery is layered with other natural elements like moss, dried citrus and flowers to keep things organic and cheerful.
And for those important pops of color, she has brought in a tree skirt, stockings and table runner all made with SmithHönig’s Thread Bare patterned fabric.
“I can’t even tell you how much I love it,” says Stalker. “The design has so many colors when you look up close — including orange, purple and blue — but when you stand back it reads largely as pink, which is my favorite color to decorate with.”
For those important pops of color, Stalker brought in a tree skirt, stockings and table runner all made with SmithHönig’s Thread Bare patterned fabric.
While pink isn’t your typical holiday color, like say red or green, you know we’re not exactly traditionalists here. We say for a more modern (and fun!) take on holiday design, switch up the colors — if you love pink or purple, why shouldn’t you use it? And anyway, according to Stalker, there are many “the more the merrier!” opportunities during the holidays — pillows, pigments, party guests, presents — which might be why she’s so excited to have the Fuchsia Luxurious Velvet Pillow in her home this holiday season.
“The color is so rich and delicious, I want to eat it,” says Stalker with a laugh. “But seriously, it’s such a high-quality velvet — I can’t stop snuggling with it.— and it has a beautiful contrasting oversized welting that adds such an unexpected gorgeous touch.”
SmithHönig’s Fuchsia Luxurious Velvet Pillows add an element that’s so rich and delicious you’ll want to eat it.
But when it comes to unexpected touches, the stars of the show, says Stalker, are the SmithHönig tassels she has liberally layered into her home – on her tree, her mantle, and on the tablescape. She’s using both the silky and beaded styles as an unconventional way to add color and make a fabulous statement.
“I’ve had a few people over already and they all have remarked on how much they love the tassels,” says Stalker. “They are so versatile, I will for sure be using them throughout the year.”
The stars of Stalker’s holiday decor are SmithHönig’s silky and beaded style tassels.When it comes to decorating, especially for the holidays, the delight is in the details. Capture the “Sugar Plum Fairy Forest” vibe by following these tips from Stalker:
SET THE SCENE: When decorating I always put on a festive movie (on mute), play some jazz, and drink hot cocoa — gets me right in the spirit!
COLORED GLASSWARE: One of my weaknesses is colored glassware that I find at estate sales or antique shops, I love the depth they add to my table. The glasses I have found for this years’ tablescape really pop against the vibrant SmithHönig table runner.
FANCIFUL MOBILE: I have always loved hanging unexpected pieces from the ceiling or a canopy. Last year I had a foliage-filled one and this year I have the tassels and moss over my dining table.
TWINKLY LIGHTS: I really amp up my twinkly light game this time of year. I use them everywhere and just love their ambiance.
WOODSY WHIMSY: I styled a magnolia branch over my fireplace and hung tassels and stockings on it. So simple and easy but the result is cozy and a visual surprise.
“What I adore about the pattern, besides its utter beauty, is that it has lots of variation to it- which I love functionally for festive meals.”
Flight Of Whimsy
Santa with a big gnome-like nose was all the rage last year, so I had to jump on the bandwagon! It was a very cute design idea. I mostly just made a big-nosed Santa and made the rest up. As usual, I had to drag out my Nabi red holographic polish for his outfit, because it just LOOKS like velvet in a really incredible way.
Colors:
~ Red holo: Nabi – Red
~ Nude: Zoya – Chantal
~ Light pink: Seven7een – 152
~ White: Sinful Colors – Snow me White
~ Black: Maybelline – Onyx Rush
~ Gold glitter: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Stamps: Nicole Diary – 120
I think I (on average) do one Santa mani a year, and this one fits nicely! Hope you enjoyed. The next few nail art posts will all be Christmas themed, if I can get them edited in time.

Golden Pumpkin
I have no idea what I was going for here. I had seen a lot of pretty nails with a gold and white pumpkin on a darker colored base, so I decided I wanted to make one for myself. Instead of doing an accent pumpkin nail, or a few vines, I somewhat went crazy and made ALL THE VINES with one very gold pumpkin. It took me far longer to make these vines than it did to paint the darn pumpkin!
Colors:
~ Green holo: ILNP – Ski Lodge
~ White: Sinful Colors – Snow me White
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
In the end I think it came out quite pretty and was a lot of fun to wear…but likely too time consuming for how ultimately simple it was! I need to get some type of brush that lets me make curlicue vines easily. Or maybe some day I should experiment with using acrylic instead of polish in my manicures :-p. Hope you enjoyed!

Native Designs
I spent some time searching for a pretty turquoise ring, and was re-inspired to to Native American-themed patterns in black, blue, and gold. So here we are! I am actually pretty happy with this for many reasons, but the primary reason is that the stamping here is not the black, but the BLUE. I do love actual stamping polish, even if I am seldom willing to pay for it! Honestly I feel like I should get a rainbow set so I stop having to only really stamp with black, white, silver, or gold.
Colors:
~ Black holo: ILNP – Black Magic
~ Blue stamping: Emily de Molly – Light Aqua
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Stamp: Whats up Nails – B039
I now own exactly 3 stamping polishes intended for the purpose of stamping, and this is the only one that isn’t from Born Pretty (they do work, they are just tiny bottles). I don’t know if Emily de Molly has any more stamping polishes, but I would not hesitate to buy them given how well Light Aqua worked out! I have started making purple polish by combing my Born Pretty pinks with this blue, and it works very well! Anyway, hope you enjoyed my aside and the nail art!

Queen Charlotte Regal Garb
This was another manicure designed after some of the outrageously beautiful dresses in season 1 of the show Bridgerton. This one is modeled after the epic red and blue gown worn by the actress playing Queen Charlotte. I tried to capture the shiftiness of the blue using a multichrome but it only somewhat worked. Regardless, I like the end result! The inspiration is dramatic!
Much like Monday’s post, I decided to post this now since season 2 was just released, and I will be starting to watch it this week because I am behind. I hope the gowns are just as beautiful! And of course, the queens hairstyles just as magnificent.
BRIDGERTON GOLDA ROSHEUVEL as QUEEN CHARLOTTE in episode 108 of BRIDGERTON Cr. LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX © 2020
Colors:
~ Red metallic: OPI – Cute Little Vixen
~ Blue multichrome: ILNP – Birefringence
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Silver: Revlon – Metallic
~ Stamp: BC – 06
The whole design for this manicure is freehand, other than the background gold embroidery pattern on the red section; I hand-added the flowers in silver though! Unfortunately, although the very fine gold pattern is true to what gold embroidery looks like, you almost cannot make it out against the metallic burgundy of the base. Oh well, it was still fun to wear! Hope you enjoyed 🙂

Minimalist Christmas
This design is a trick! I started with a glow in the dark almost-white base, and stamped over it with a white polish, a single snowflake on each nail that can only be seen in the dark (or at least that was the intent. Hidden snowflake!). I then stamped a geometric pattern in black and highlighted little bits of the black with gold. That was intended to be the finished product, but it looked boring, so I went in with red and green glitter as well and made it more festive.
The base is two coats of the white glow-in-the-dark polish Pure Glow Getter by Serum No 5. The polish, like most GITD polishes, goes on thick and slightly gritty, and is likely not appropriate for beginner nail artists (sadly). That said, it has a reasonable level of glow (especially when charged by the sun, indoor light was less effective as usual), and the design that I put over it, including the secret snowflake, really popped!
These nails kept surprising me when I was falling asleep 🙂 I can’t decide if I would want to do a fully hidden design again, or if that took away a bit from the fun since no one but me (and my husband I suppose) knew that the snowflakes were there.
Colors:
~ White GITD: Serum No5 – Pure Glow Getter
~ White: Sinful Colors – Snow me White
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Red: Emily de Molly – LE 28
~ Green: Zoya – Ivanka
~ Stamp: Nicole Diary – 120
In retrospect looking at the polishes I used with this manicure, I hope Zoya regrets making a bright sparkly green and naming it Ivanka, but who knows. It is a pretty color regardless! Hope you enjoyed!

Mint Cells
This is the sister piece to the loose swirls from last week, where I compared how loosely swirling polish on the nail directly looked in comparison to creating a cell decal with the same color palette. The loose swirls won! I was surprised. Especially since these took a lot longer
Colors:
~ Pastel teal: Zoya – Tiana
~ Neon teal: Emily de Molly – Glee Ridden
~ Teal: Salon Perfect – Escape to Neverland
~ Dark teal: Emily de Molly – Region Specific
~ White cells: Baroness X – Sand Ahoy!
~ Teal glitter: ORLY – Sparkling Garbage
I guess I should stop investing in cell-forming polish, if loosely swirling polish on the nail has a prettier effect! Although this will I think still work better for some applications. Live and learn!

Artichoke
I wanted to make an intentional succulent-themed manicure. I showed my creation (this design) to my husband and he goes “oh! Its an artichoke” and I realized he was right. Maybe a little more teal than green, but he was right. Ergo, artichoke nails (oops)!
The base for this nail art was a new NEON yellow polish that is so bright it almost looks green (yay!), LE 196 by Emily de Molly. Like all neons it is a bit finicky, and dried down semi-gloss in two coats. You have to work quickly with this polish (again, like all neons) but it is certainly nowhere near the worst I have seen! And as usual, the color is worth it 🙂
Colors:
~ Neon yellow: Emily de Molly – LE 196
~ Neon green: KBShimmer – Race Against Slime
~ Teal: Salon Perfect – Escape to Neverland
~ Blue: Sinful Colors – Endless Blue
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black
~ Stamp: Whats up Nails – B005
I actually managed to post twice this week! Lets see if I can get to my full three posts. Don’t hold out hope. That said, I do hope you enjoyed this post! It was quite fun to paint at least!

Loose Mint Swirl
I did a test: which looks better, a loose swirl polish transfer (where you just blob the polish onto a mat, scoop it up with a brush, and release it onto the nail) or a cell-creating swirl that needs to dry on the mat/stamper before use. The cell version takes much longer, and it turns out that the loose swirl was the unanimous winner! I was surprised.
Colors:
~ Pastel teal: Zoya – Tiana
~ Neon teal: Emily de Molly – Glee Ridden
~ Teal: Salon Perfect – Escape to Neverland
~ Dark teal: OPI – Stay Off the Lawn!!
~ Gold glitter: Emily de Molly – Chasing Gold
I need to remember this loose swirl technique when I don’t have time. The whole design took maybe 15 minutes, and the cleanup after (due to the thickness of the polish around my cuticles) took another 15. Thats it. Not half bad! Anyway, sorry for the skipped posts last week, I am very stressed trying to meet some deadlines at the moment! Hopefully I manage to post more than once this week. Oops!

Itinerant Traveler
I had been staring at this design on the stamping plate for SO LONG and I just had to use it. I had to. The biggest struggle was how to make the dragons stand out. The stamping plate has the dragons as part of the design, but I didn’t want them to be just black. So, I stamped over the black with multichrome (and then went back in and added more multichrome by hand because shifty dragons just make sense)!
I started with a bright green base. What you see here are two coats of OPI’s Did It On ‘Em. I hate the name, but the color is a beautiful pale grass green (a yellow-leaning bright pale green). I had been looking for a replacement for Essie The More The Merrier, and I think I have found it! Its a nice polish.
To make the base more grass-like, I dry-brushed on two more shades of green. When that was dry and top coated, I added my stamping decals, and then finished off with the multichrome dragons. I initially painted the blue sky directly on the nail after the stamp was finished, but I decided that was farrrrr to much effort and just turned it into part of the stamping decal after the first two nails 😀
Colors:
~ Pale green: OPI – Did It On ‘Em
~ Green: Zoya – Josie
~ Dark green: Zoya – Shawn
~ Blue: KBShimmer – I’d Rather be with Blue
~ Light grey: Zoya – Dove
~ Grey: WOW – #333
~ Dark grey: Zoya – Evvie
~ Pale grey with black flecks: Cirque – Hatch
~ Red: KBShimmer – Chai-huahua
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black
~ White: Sinful Colors – Snow me White
~ Brown: Zoya – Dea
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Blue multichrome: ILNP – Birefringence
~ Stamp: Maniology – M035
Thats all for today, and fits the 31 day challenge of book, mostly because I love fantasy novels! I don’t have a specific one here, but there are so many who cares :-p. Hope you enjoyed!

Nested Nude Dots
I actually did this while on vacation, and I think it will stand as the most intricate nail art I have done with minimal supplies, at a place outside of my nail art room! Anyway. The 31 day challenge theme for today calls for “delicate” and I think these count! I somehow made delicate nails with nothing but a dotting tool and a nail art brush. And nude colors (to make my mom happy, although she decided she didn’t want her nails painted after all)!
Colors:
~ Nude: Zoya – Rue
~ Light nude: KBShimmer – Caught on Tape
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
I remember I used to adore making intricate circle and dot nails, but they take to long for me to have much time to do them while in the hospital! Hopefully on some easier blocks, but not right now. Hope you enjoyed!

Feather Fade
Simple but pretty! I need to repeat this style over a solid colored base because some of the effect is lost. I actually did a gradient of three gold polishes to get this look: a scattered gold, a denser and finer gold, and a metallic gold. I like how it came out! Even if you can hardly see the more sparse gold over the intense holo teal background :-p
Colors:
~ Teal: LA Girl – Teal Dimension
~ Gold glitter: OPI – All Sparkly and Gold
~ Fine gold glitter: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Gold metallic: Essie – Good as Gold
~ Stamp: BP – L003
Give how quick this was (since it was only one stamp over a color) I think I am going to have to try this again soon! I don’t know why I assumed I would have more time to do intricate nail art this year, but that is not panning out the way I had planned! Anyway, hope you enjoyed!

Water’s Edge
This manicure was inspired by @urbannailart. She had the coolest idea to make a FADED stamp (gradient from white to clear on the plate), and then top that with a jelly polish! I did it 3 times which was overkill…I have a hunch I am going to be doing this again but using only two coats (since the third one both disappeared and just made it look busy). The end result, however, was SUPER COOL and it looks like the surf is just at the edge of the sand! It also gave me an excuse to use my brown-gold holo polish. Unfortunately this polish looks awful on its own against my skin tone, but it works great as an accent color 😀 and of course my shell and starfish charms!
Colors:
~ Periwinkle: Nails Inc – Regents Place
~ Teal jelly: Zoya – Frida
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Brown holo: ILNP – Sparks May Fly
~ White: Sinful Colors – Snow me White
~ Stamps: Born Pretty – Texture L002, BPX – L020
Since the jelly polish I have is a green-teal, I decided to use a periwinkle purple base to balance out the green in the jelly. I should have ended up with a brownish mess, but instead color magic happened and I got a beautiful vibrant blue :-D. I love polish fun! Moral: sometimes things just WORK and magic happens! I also spent this past weekend at the beach and this is a wonderful reminder that I can relax…even if I am currently on service as a chief in the hospital (dear god, they want me in charge of an entire service in the hospital?!). Anyway, enjoy!

Simple Chain
I feel like this week is a simple week (which is also to say that I am getting back into the swing of being in the hospital after two weeks in hawaii and I am Not Enjoying Myself). So, I am posting some easy simple nail art! I actually painted these while on my last vacation (to visit my family for the first time since COVID restrictions), and you can really rather tell. The whole design probably took a total of 20 minutes, and is nothing but dots! Dots are easy 🙂
Colors:
~ Nude: Zoya – Rue
~ Light nude: KBShimmer – Caught on Tape
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
I should have somewhat more fantastic nail art to post on Friday (I hope) and should be back to regular awesome and colorful nail art posting next week! Regardless, if you ever need a quick simple manicure, look no further than a simple dot chain.

Golden Dot Explosion
I has been SO LONG since I have done a pure dotticure, and I felt the need! These were actually quite fast to do, since I had to cut my nails way down due to peeling a potato and peeling off part of my pointer fingernail in the process. I suppose it did its job (and protected my finger from the peeler) but it was still a sad sacrifice! So I decorated my shorter nails with LOTS OF DOTS.
Colors:
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ White: Sinful Colors – Snow me White
This actually inspired me to do a series of three MORE dotticures, but I haven’t transferred them onto my computer yet! So you guys get to see this one. I am also co-posting it for the dotticure challenge from Whats Up Nails; hopefully it can serve as some inspiration! Enjoy 🙂

Dotted Spirals
I have somewhat missed freehanded dots, so I figured I would go to town with it! I also wanted to test one of my holographic shifty polish toppers over a variety of colors, so this is what I ended up with! I started by painting my nails bright blue. When that was dry, I painted a wide purple stripe with messy borders up the middle of each nail, followed by a thinner messy stripe of magenta (I was too lazy to make a horizontal gradient). I then topped with my holo shifty topper and THEN a flakie topper (just you know for more oomph) and top coat. I went ahead and free-handed black dots of various sizes, and then used the black as a shadow with gold dots over it (which was quite fun honestly). I intentionally had the shadow going in different directions on each nail, but in retrospect, it might have been fun to have all the shadows in one direction!
Colors:
~ Blue: Sinful Colors – Endless Blue
~ Purple: L’oreal – Paparazzi Pleaser
~ Magenta: Zoya – Margo
~ Shifty topper: Different Dimension – Intergalactic Dolphin
~ Flakie topper: Picture Polish – Festival
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
Looking back at this manicure, I actually think there is too much glitter. Between the glitter topper and the gold glittery polish, it looks a little…much. I will have to do shadow dots again with a slightly less busy background! Either way, hope you enjoyed!

Golden Veined
Oh god this was SUCH a disaster. I spent almost 2 hours making a super complicated manicure just to cover it up because it looked SO BAD. I started with a pretty purple-with-blue-glitters over a purple creme base, all is well. I then, for some ill-defined reason, decided to make gradient purple scales? Starting with the same shade of dark purple so it blended all the way into the polish? Gradiented to pink? When that looked awful I made an inner lining of the lighter color below for each of the scales and that looked WORSE. It looked like some pink-purple spreading tumor from my nail beds. I decided the problem was the darkest purple blending into the glitter purple base, so I outlined it in chunky gold glitter and somehow that just made everything worse. It was a failure. So I gave up and asked my husband what he would do to salvage it, and his answer was “make up something teal” to pick up the teal glitters in the polish.
Colors:
~ Purple cream: L’oreal – Paparazzi Pleaser
~ Purple with blue glitter: Emily de Molly – Open Season
~ Gold glitter: OPI – All Sparkly and Gold
~ Teal: Color Fever – Fiji
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
I will never say this on my nail blog again but…my husband was right. I covered the purple-pink monstrosity that I spent hours creating with a super opaque teal metallic, leaving a thin golden rim, and it already looked better. I then added gold veins to the teal and it almost looked like an intentional passable manicure. Only I knew what horrors lay beneath.

Neon Bonds
This manicure ended up far exceeding my expectations. I saw a super pretty accent nail (by an artist that I can no longer find, and despite KNOWING that I saved it on either pinterest or IG it is just gone, sorry original artist!) and decided I needed to make it happen. Instead of free-handing lines, I decided to paint a bunch of polish onto one of my larger stampers (although I could have just used my mat), wait for it to try, and then cut it into strips. The strips were imperfectly sized but not hard to work with, and they gave the end design some fascinating depth! I almost wish I had taken photos before top coat. Of course, I then finished it with matte coat because that is what the original artist had done. I do love it, but the depth is lost! I am posting it today because it reminds me of the LGBT flag, and that deserves to be on my blog for the 31 day challenge Flag Day.
Colors:
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black
~ Neon pink: Zoya – Kelsey
~ Neon orange: Nubar – Hot Orange
~ Neon pastel yellow: Maybelline – Citrus Collide
~ Neon green: Salon Perfect – Loopy Lime
~ Blue: Zoya – Yummy
~ Purple: Zoya – Malia
I repeated the same basic pattern on my thumb, and then was at a loss. The original design called for a matte black pinky and shiny neon orange pointer and middle fingers, but I am morally opposed to mixing gloss and matte nails. I also don’t like having that many boring empty nails. I ended up playing with adding stripes of color vs black vs a mix to the other nails, but it looked too busy. I settled on this, two simple black stripes of different sizes on one nail. Of course, I matted the whole thing as well. This was a surprisingly quick manicure, mostly because once the nail were ready for the stripes, the polish was already dry, and there was no free-handing at all. Just scissors and some creative cutting! Hope you enjoyed!

Beglittered Swirl Vines
I really like how this one came out! It helps that I used a very pretty polish as the base, but somehow the red/gold with the blue and gold metallic just work! I also love vines (I am wearing this particular stamp right now, with a different manicure).
Colors:
~ Red/Gold multichrome holo: Enchanted – I am the Walrus
~ Blue: Zoya – Blake
~ Gold: Salon Perfect – Gold Leaf
~ Stamp: BPX Floral – L018
I have a whole bunch of actual holiday nail art…lets hope I get a chance to transfer them onto my computer and get them edited up by next week! Honestly I have my doubts, I have to many outside obligations at the moment. :-p Hope you all enjoyed!

Maleficent
This might be my favorite nail art for the 31 Day Challenge and possibly for this year altogether? I adore Maleficent as a villain, and in college my dorm hall made a meme where each of us was a disney character; they assigned me Maleficient and made a photo of my face on the character’s body (tinged green, of course). So, when Movie day came up, I knew what I needed to grab! Sadly, this one is from the unposted archives and is actually from 2017 (embarrassing, I know!). The sister post (Sleeping Beauty, of course) will go up the day after the Challenge ends 😀
The design for this was inspired by Definitely Meg (although her blog appears to have closed down since then) own to trying to figure out what shades of green I could combine to make that glowing background she has! It has been a while since I have tried to negative space flames, and I forgot how time consuming it was! Also, do not try to freehand a raven, it is difficult!
Colors:
~ Neon green: Salon Perfect – Loopy Lime
~ Green holo topper: ORLY – Sparkling Garbage
~ Pastel green: Zoya – Tiana
~ Purple holo: LA Girl – Purple Effect
~ Purple creme: Formula X – Ignition
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black
That is all for today, but the rest of this week should also be a bunch of impressive manicures (if I do say so myself)! Hope you enjoyed!

Rainbow Gradient
Rainbow time! it has been a LONG time since I posted a rainbow (or painted a rainbow honestly). I need to do more rainbows!
So, anyway, this is a simple rainbow gradient. I went with fairly neon colors because…well, I felt like it. At some point I’ll need to do a pastel and dark rainbow with my newer wider selection of colors (again, it’s been a while).
Colors:
~ Bright pink: Zoya – Kelsey
~ Bright orange: Zoya – Thandie
~ Yellow: OPI – Never a Dulles Moment
~ Neon green: Salon Perfect – Loopy Lime
~ Blue: Zoya – Ling
~ Purple: Zoya – Margo
That’s all I have for today! Hope you enjoyed, and happy weekend!

Reviews for "Exploring the Different Colors and Styles of Wool Felt Witch Hats"
1. Jane - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the wool felt witch hat that I purchased. First of all, it was much smaller than I expected. It barely fit on my head, and I could feel it digging into my skull. Additionally, the quality of the hat was subpar. The felt material felt thin and flimsy, and the stitching was starting to come undone after just a few wears. Overall, I don't recommend this hat at all.
2. Mike - 1 star
This wool felt witch hat is a complete waste of money. The color is not as vibrant as it looks in the pictures, and the material itself feels cheap and scratchy. It doesn't stand up well and just flops over. The brim is uneven and wonky, making it look really unprofessional. Save your money and invest in a better quality witch hat.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I purchased the wool felt witch hat for a Halloween costume, and I was very disappointed with the product. The hat arrived crushed and misshapen, which made it impossible to mold it into a proper witch hat shape. The sizing was also off. I ordered a medium, but it was extremely tight on my head and gave me a headache within minutes. The hat also shed felt particles constantly, leaving a trail wherever I went. I wouldn't recommend this hat to anyone.

I was really excited to get this wool felt witch hat for a themed party, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The hat felt flimsy and cheap, and the material was not as sturdy as I had hoped. It didn't fit well on my head and kept slipping down, making it difficult to keep it in place. The brim was also uneven and did not maintain its shape. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality of this hat.
