Grace-full Nail Polish have got a couple of new collections coming out later this week - the Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum Collection (which I will be sharing with you today) and the Christmas 2018 Collection (which I will be sharing with you on Wednesday this week so stay tuned for that). So many pretty polishes are coming! I love that both collections are being released at the same time. It means you can shop both collections and save on shipping. Who doesn't love to save a bit of money? You can buy more polish then. Anyway, as I mentioned before today I have the Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum Collection. This eight piece collection is inspired by The Handmaid's Tale and translates to "don’t let the bastards grind you down". Right, let's just get into the swatches shall we?

Blessed Are The Meek is a brown/khaki/army green linear holo with a gold base. This isn't my typical kind of colour but I really like it. I'm not sure what it is about these type of greens that I like so much. The formula of this one is fantastic and it is opaque in two coats.

Blessed Be The Fruit is a red linear holo with red metallic flakes. I think this is quite nice for a red polish (if you don't know - reds aren't really my thing). The formula is awesome and you could get away with one coat. I used two coats for my swatch.

Good Weather is a soft grey crelly with a pink shift and ultra chrome chameleon iridescent flakes. I really, really, really like this one. I'm not sure I am loving the flakies in it though. They are subtle so for the most part you can't really see them but I think I would prefer this polish without them. The formula is good and easy to use, however it is a little on the sheer side. My swatch shows three coats.

Guardians is a french navy linear holo. This one is stunning! I love the colour and the formula is awesome. You can get away with one coat, however I used two coats for my swatch.

May The Lord Open is an aurora shimmer that shows teal in some light and blue in others. Now in my camera's true form it has made this polish look very blue and not at all teal. It is definitely not as blue as it looks in my pictures. This polish is really beautifully and the formula is great. I used three coats for my swatch, however you can stop at two coats.

Praise Be is a soft green crelly with gold and silver holo microglitter. I do like that there is a crelly in this collection. It's nice to see that crellies are popping up a little more these days. This one isn't really my cup of tea but I still appreciate it. The formula is good and easy to use. My swatch shows two coats.

Son Of Jacob is an ultra chrome chameleon magnetic polish. It is black with purple and green magnetic pieces. I love, love, love this polish! I especially love it before using the magnet. It has so many colours and shifts beautifully. The formula is great and is opaque in two coats.

Under His Brow is a deep brown linear holo. I don't really have too much to say about this one. It's not a favourite of mine but it is great if you like brown polishes. The formula is awesome - you could easily get away with doing one coat. My swatch shows two coats.
