I absolutely love shimmery/metallic/bright colours from Nabla, they are easily comparable to MAC and Makeup Geek in their quality. However, Nabla mattes would get a 4 from me. Don't get me wrong, they are lovely but not nearly as long-lasting as Makeup Geek ones and with some of the tones blending is more difficult. Pluses: * bright colours have strong pigment * soft and blendable * interesting colour variations Negatives: * mattes are a bit less long-lasting compared to shimmery colours * eyeshadow pans are larger than normal: makes it awkward to mix and match with other brands :)
