I recently heard a fascinating story about a witch that stands twelve feet tall at Home Depot. Apparently, this larger-than-life figure is not your typical Halloween decoration but rather a year-round fixture at the home improvement store. This witch is so big that it can be seen from afar, towering over the other decorations and drawing customers in with its imposing presence. Being twelve feet tall, the witch is truly a sight to behold. Its bony fingers reach toward the ceiling, while its pointy hat adds to its menacing aura. Strategically placed within the store, the witch serves not only as a captivating display but also as a marketing tool.
2 coats, no top coat.
For my polishes, I captured my swatches with the daytime light in my light box, but also used the flash on my camera to get the holo to show up even better.

SWATCH SUNDAY — Color Club Black Magic
Hey Beauties & happy Sunday! & happy first Sunday of October! It’s officially spooky season. I’m breaking out my Halloween decorations as we speak.
It’s also time to start finding some spooky-inspired polishes from my stash to feature on Swatch Sunday. Honestly, I haven’t bought any Halloween polishes in a few years, so I’m running out of a polishes that work for Halloween, haha. This might be the year I need to add a few new ones to my stash. But — in the meantime, here in a kind of Halloween-y/Witchy polish: Color Club Black Magic.
2 coats, no top coat.
I’ve written about these Color Club holos before, & how much I love them. Walmart was selling the whole collection, & then had them on clearance, so naturally I had to stock up on a few. & I feel like everyone needs a black holographic polish in their life, so those moments when you’re feeling moody — or, you know, for Halloween.
For my polishes, I captured my swatches with the daytime light in my light box, but also used the flash on my camera to get the holo to show up even better.
Formula on this polish was super easy to apply. First coat was a little streaky/patchy, but with the second coat we had the full opacity you see in my pictures. That’s also without top coat, but it still has a nice gloss to it as well. & the sparkle! Yes the sparkle is fantastic. I really like the flash on rainbow against the black base. & I think this would be a fantastic base for some Halloween nail art.
& obviously, we need a sunshine shot, because I really feel like you can’t truly appreciate holo until you see it in the sun. & she is stunning in the sun! Really gives off oil spill vibes.
What do you think about Color Club Black Magic? Is it giving you Halloween vibes? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below & share what Halloween inspired your loving right now, because I’m definitely on the look out to add a few new ones to my stash!

Reviews for "A Witch Out of Place: Home Depot's Unique Marketing Strategy"
1. John - 1/5 stars - I was completely disappointed with the Witch that stands twelve feet tall at Home Depot. First of all, the product was poorly made. It didn't even reach the advertised height, let alone stand properly. The materials used were flimsy and cheap, and it felt like it would break with the slightest gust of wind. Additionally, the paint job was sloppily done, with visible brush strokes all over the witch's face. Overall, it was a waste of money and I would not recommend this product to anyone.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - The Witch that stands twelve feet tall at Home Depot was not as impressive as I had hoped. While the size was indeed noticeable, the overall design lacked detail and creativity. The witch's face looked more comical than scary, and the limbs were oddly proportioned. The electronic features, such as the motion sensor and voice activation, were also faulty and didn't work properly. It was definitely not worth the high price tag. I would suggest looking for a better Halloween decoration elsewhere.
3. Mark - 1/5 stars - I regret purchasing the Witch that stands twelve feet tall at Home Depot. It didn't even last for a week before falling apart. The construction was incredibly poor, with loose joints and unstable base. The witch's broomstick broke in half within a few days, and the fabric used for the clothing tore easily. The advertised durability was simply not there. Save your money and avoid this product if you want a decent Halloween decoration.
