English term or phrase: flatter (one's nose) against
It consisted mainly of a big red face ... from which she glared at you through gold-rimmed aids to vision, optic circles of such diameter and so frequently displaced that some one had vividly spoken of her as *flattering her nose against* the glass of her spectacles.

Explanation:
am citit de citeva ori fraza si cred ca ochelari sint mari cu lentile groase care cad pe nas foarte des si cineva crede ca ea foloseste ochelari mai mult pentru avantajare infrumusetarea nasului decit pentru vedere deci ochelari devin ca accessory in favoarea nasului.(portray favorably-a infatisa)
