I dropped my bottle of Mooncat's "A Midsommar Night's Dream" onto my hardwood floor and the bottle shattered and I am sad about losing a $15 bottle of very pretty nail polish yes but also my floor now has a beautiful iridescent stain I can't clean off without probably ruining the varnish on the floor lmao.

It's such a beautiful iridescent blue shimmer.... on the ground.... it's... art when you think about it

my mother was/is extremely protective of an old cabinet in the kitchen (a "do not put anything on this that does not have a tray or coaster underneath" kind of protective) but when some kind of extract leaked on it and created a weird misshapen stain, she decided she loved the fact it now has a weird misshapen stain
