Dato che da pochi gionri è uscita la nuova collezione Nabla "Butterfly Valley", ho pensato che una recensione dettagliata dei loro ombretti potesse essere utile a qualcuno! Nella review li troverete divisi per finish, con due righe di valutazione su ciascun colore! Purtroppo ho dovuto dividerla in due post perchè avevo terminato gli "Invio" di Blogger XD
Hi!
Since a few days ago launched the new Nabla collection "Butterfly Valley", I thought I could review all my Nabla eyeshadows! I divided them per finish, and wrote a small review for every single shade! I had to split it in two posts because Blogger wouldn't let me press "Enter" anymore XD
You can read the SECOND PART HERE!
SOFT MATTE EYESHADOWS
Uno dei miei due finish preferiti. Trovo che siano degli ombretti opachi davvero ottimi, morbidi, scriventi, sfumabili, duraturi. Alcune colorazioni sono molto particolari, difficili da reperire ovunque. Trovo inoltre che per questo prezzo sia molto difficile trovare un prodotto così valido.
One of my two favourite finishes. These eyeshadows are incredibly soft, blendable, long lasting and pigmented. The colours are amazing too, and very difficult to find elsewhere. Also for this price, it's very difficult to find a good quality product like this.

Fossil |
A taupey brown perfect for the crease and for blending. I used it a lot, but I have to say, since I bought Narciso I've been reaching more for it more than Fossil. I prefer to use warm browns on my blue eyes.

Narciso |
I love it. It's the perfect warm shade for the crease. I use it very often, by itself for a quick crease definition on an everyday look, or to blend smokey eyes.

Caramel |
This one is a strange colour. I admit I use this very rarely. I don't know, I just have a feeling this shade doesn't suit my skin tone very much. I would more likely use it to add a bit of warmth to other shades but as a crease colour - no no. Maybe better combined with a copper shade.

Petra |
Another big love of mine. A burnt sienna colour I like to use very much - as a matter of fact, I used it with Narciso and Mimesis in my recent Nabla look! Those three are like the perfect partners in crime. I use that combo quite a lot.

Camelot |
Camelot is another great shade, a dark cool toned brown which I love to use to deepen the outer corners of my eyes. Great also to smudge eye pencil for soft eyeliner looks. The bad thing is: the pan is quite delicate, mine crackled up a lot by just moving it from one palette to another.

Mimesis |
Wonderful. A very dark kinda wine colour, excellent especially if combined with Narciso and Petra. It just works with every colour.

City Wolf |
Medium grey, super cool toned. I use this with Interference and company, but as I said with Fossil, I prefer to use warm shades.

Nocturne |
Just a matte black, very pigmented and blendable. Tends to create a little bit of fallout.
BRIGHT EYESHADOWS
I Bright di Nabla, assieme ai Soft Matte, sono il mio finish preferito. Sono morbidi, pigmentati, e le colorazioni non sono mai banali. Trovo che siano davvero un'ottima formula!
Nabla's Brights, along with Soft Mattes, are my favourite finish. They are soft, pigmented, and the colours are never conventional. Amazing formula!

Interference |
A cool toned grey, very luminous, with mauve reflections. Beautiful, pigmented, excellent paired with City Wolf!

Superposition |
Cool colour, but the glitters tend to fly away a bit. It was a limited edition though, I don't think it's still available anywhere, anymore. If you like it, try checking out the next shadow ;)

Ground State |
The better version of Superposition. It's not identical, as you can maybe tell from the swatches. To me, it's slightly lighter and obviously doesn't contain Superposition's flying green glitters. Me gusta.

Entropy |
Uno dei miei preferiti in assoluto. Non è chiaro, ma non è neanche troppo scuro, ed è luminosissimo. L'ho utilizzato assieme ad altri ombretti sempre Nabla nel mio Face Of The Day di un paio di giorni fa, ma lo uso spessissimo!
One of my all time favourites. It's not light, yet it's not too dark, and very bright and luminous. I used it with many other Nabla eyeshadows in my Face Of The Day I posted two days ago!

Tribeca |
Another favourite of mine. If used in the outer corner with Entropy all over the lid it's gorgeous, but it's amazing also paired with oranges and red!

Aphrodite |
Un rame acceso. Mi piace perchè è luminoso e colorato, ma allo stesso tempo elegante. Decisamente una delle mie tonalità top per l'estate! Se avete gli occhi chiari è una tonalità perfetta per tirare fuori specialmente l'azzurro.
A bright copper. I love it because it's bright and colorful, yet it can be so elegant. Definitively one of my top summer shades! If you have blue eyes, this shade is perfect to make your eye colour pop!
![]() |
Grenadine |
Un bel rosso melograno, anche questo bello acceso, perfetto per l'estate! Trovo che, mentre Aphrodite mi piace di più su occhi chiari, Grenadine stia molto bene sugli occhi anche molto scuri (poi si sa, il rosso e vedre sono complementari, quindi se avete occhi scuri con riflessi verdi è perfetto!).
A beautiful pomegranate red, very bright, perfect for summer! While I like Aphrodite more on blue eyes (don't get me wrong-it works good on dark eyes too!), I think this one suits both bright and dark eyes (and you know, green and red are complementary colours, so if you have brown eyes with green speckles it's the perfect shade to bring them out!)

Daphne n. 2 |
This is basically the Bright version of the H20 eyeshadow. I love it more than the H20 formula, because it's smooth and insanely pigmented! It's a Mac Cramberry kinda shade, but I love this one way more than Cramberry. If you like this kind of shades, then you really need to get this one!

Atmosphere |
Un azzurro dai riflessi lievemente dorati. Trovo che l'azzurro slavi il 99% delle persone, specialmente quelle con gli occhi chiari, ma questo è straordinariamente docile. Molto bello abbinato a Zoe nell'angolo interno!
A light turquoise with slightly golden reflects. I think that this kind of colour washes off like 99% of the people, especially blue eyed ones, but this one is surprisingly forgiving. Beautiful if used with Zoe in the inner corner.

Citron |
Citron is a beautiful lime green with super gold reflects, a unique colour! I love it with coppers and oranges, in fact I used it in the lower lid in my Nabla FOTD, with Aphrodite in the centre of the upper lid, but it's amazing also all over the lid with some matte brown in the crease, or also in the inner corner, as MrDaniel Makeup (who is also Nabla's Art Director) did in this look!

Dreamer |
Un oro in base fredda, che vira al verde. Perfetto per illuminare Citron e Extravirgin, ma non lo uso molto spesso in quanto preferisco illuminanti dorati.
A cool toned gold, that goes slightly green. Perfect to highlight Citron and Extravirgin, but I don't use it very often since I love me more some goldish highlighter.
