My mom used to collect these really cool blown glass pieces. Most of them are globes filled with awesome patterns and colors, and others are in the shapes of animals like fish or frogs. They're knickknacks, yes. But they're also really pretty and perfect as nail art props. 

This piece went perfectly with my NOTD, which is a subtle blue gradient made with OPI's What's With the Cattitude and Ogre-the-top Blue with Last Friday Night layered over it. I probably should have skipped the layer of Last Friday night, because it created a weird dimpled effect that kind of pissed me off.
