The gorgeous Czech babe Nella has been one of my favourite lesbian/solo girls for the last couple of years, and with the newly launched Club Nella she has now got a well designed official site that shows a lot of promise.
The selection of Nella videos and photosets is unfortunately still limited, 13 videos and 26 photosets, but while we wait for more there's fortunately a rather large bonus section with videos (around 90) and photosets (around 160) featuring other Czech babes in glamour posing, solo masturbation and lesbian action.
The video quality in the Nella section is fantastic, full HD at 1280x720, 3500+ kbit on around half the videos and higher than DVD resolution on the rest. Photos look amazing as well at very large 1662x2500 pixels.
The content in the bonus section certainly isn't your regular bland low quality streaming stuff either, videos downloadable and looking great at usually 640x480 or 720x576, 1500+ kbit and photosets at 1065x1600 pixels and downloadable in zip files.
So overall, Club Nella is just the type of solo girl site I enjoy - though I'm of course hoping to see more of the leading lady sooner rather than later, but I am admittedly jumping the gun a bit with this review since the site is only a few months old.

Update, June 6 2008
Nella got herself a pair of new tits recently, and they are now on display in the latest photosets and videos on the site.
Whether you'll like her new "enhanced" look or not is of course entirely up to you to decide, but personally I feel a bit sad that the boob job fever unfortunately seems to be really catching on in Eastern Europe, where many girls with absolutely stunning natural bodies - like Nella - apparantly feel like they need to do what many American pornstars have been doing for a couple of decades.
Anyway, I just finished watching the latest two videos at Club Nella, and while I definately preferred her natural tits, I have certainly seen vastly worse boob job. In fact I would argue that they actually look pretty good, and fortunately she didn't go overboard when she picked a size.
As for what's going on at the site in general, Club Nella is steadily growing into a pretty good solo girl site. There are now 104 photosets and 50 videos with Nella, so the site no longer suffers from a lack of content with the main babe as the case was when I did my original review. The bonus section with other hotties is also still updated on a regular basis
The site also gets a big thumbs up for the continued personal participation from Nella, as she's always responding to posts in the forum and updating her diary with long posts and plenty of candid pics.
As I think I've mentioned somewhere below as well though, most of what you get at Club Nella is solo softcore content, so if you're more interested in all the spectacular lesbian scenes she's done since 2003, you will want to check out her work at particularly ALS Scan and Sapphic Erotica (where she goes by the name Jackie).
Update, September 28 2007
Just an update here four months after my original review.
A lack of Nella content was one of my main complaints back in June about this otherwise quite impressive site - only 26 photosets and 13 videos with the main babe at the time, and as nice as it was to get 160+ bonus photosets and 90 videos with other girls, it didn't quite make up for what was missing in the main sections of the site.
Fortunately Club Nella is coming along pretty nicely - if perhaps not quite as fast as I would have liked - with two new Nella photosets and one video every week (plus a big update on September 9 with no less than seven photosets, more days like that please).
The total number of photosets is now at 58 and the videos at 23 (including more lesbian content rather than just solo glamour), which is approaching acceptable numbers for a solo girl site still this new (and if we do factor in the bonus content Club Nella is obviously already quite large).
A few handfuls of new photosets and videos have also been added to the bonus sections since June, but nothing since early this month, so I'm guessing they will probably be focussing mostly on Nella now. Let's just hope they kick the update pace up just a notch in the near future.
In terms of the more personal aspects of the site, Nella is still doing a fairly large diary update a few times a month, usually with a bunch of candid pics, and she's also responding to comments and questions in the guestbook/forum every few days.
I'll check in on a regular basis and update the content numbers in the info box above, but let's just say that for now at least, Club Nella is starting to shape up to a site worthy of attention from more than just die-hard Nella fans like me.
Original Review
As you may have noticed if you've been reading through some of the reviews with high ratings here at Mike's Porn Site Reviews, I have a whole lot of favourite pornbabes I'll mention by name where appropriate. Nella is one of them, and of all the many fantastic girl/girl performers I always enjoy watching, she probably has a spot very close to the top of the list, if she's in fact not just sitting at the top of it.
The first time I came across Nella was probably during my first membership at Sapphic Erotica back around early to mid 2005. She uses the name Jackie on that particular site (as well as on the two more recent sites from the same guys, In Focus Girls and Only Cuties) and there was not a single boring video with her.
I think I've yet to see Nella make love to another girl with anything much less than extreme passion. She always seems to loose herself entirely in what she's doing and almost forget there's actually a camera present in the room as well.
Two other things that makes her one of my favourites (well, three if you count the fact that she's just plain gorgeous), a) she has the most fantastic orgasms, and if she's ever faking she sure as hell does a pretty good job, b) lesbian fisting seems to be one of her specialties - at Sapphic Erotica and In Focus Girls she has never been on the receiving end (but does a hell of a good job with her own hand in another girl's soaked pussy), but fortunately last year I figured out that she most certainly had been and still occasionally is at ALS Scan where she's also a regular and one of the most featured babes. In a number of lesbian videos Nella has had a full fist buried inside her clean shaven pussy, and she's given herself a similar treatment in a few solo videos as well.
But enough with the introduction - let's get on with what this review is actually supposed to be about, Nella's official site Club Nella. This site is very new (the regular updates started in March this year, a few sporadic ones date back to January and last Summer, but I imagine they might have been added during testing before the offical site launch, they are also labelled with another site name than Club Nella) and because of that it hasn't really had enough time to grow with the current update pace - though it does have a pretty healthy amount of really good bonus content to help out a bit while we wait to see more of Nella. I'll get back to that below.
Small site or not (at least in terms of the main attraction), when I found out about Club Nella less than a week ago I knew I had to do this review now - hell, I started writing the first part of this review just ten minutes after signing up, inspired by the lovely lady and all that - I can always update it later, and as you'll see the site definately has a few other strenghts (aside from Nella) even if the volume of Nella content isn't one of them yet.
(Member area screenshots)
The main sections of the site currently contains 26 photosets and 13 videos with Nella. For both photos and videos most of it is currently solo posing and/or masturbation with or without toys, but you also get a few hot lesbian scenes with Evelyn Lory and Anetta Keys, and if Nella's performance record on other sites is anything to go by, I assume we can expect more of that in the future - though Club Nella does look like it might be putting a heavier focus on glamour photography than just hot girl on girl sex. Fortunately Nella is so smoking hot that she should easily catch your attention even when she's fully clothed at the start of a photoset or video.
As mentioned above there's fortunately a rather plentiful collection of bonus content to help keep you entertained while you wait for new Nella videos and photosets. And we aren't talking about the usual 3rd party, low quality video feeds I rarely bother even mentioning in reviews. No, you get 15 pages of photo galleries and videos (usually around 7-8 photosets and 4-5 videos on each page) with a bunch of other Czech hotties, and if you're as much as a Eurobabe fanatic as I am, chances are you'll also recognize several of them.
Just like the Nella section of Club Nella this is all beautiful glamour style solo and lesbian content (oops, wait - you actually get an extra six pages of videos and photosets on top of those 15 in a separate "amateurs" section, almost forgot about that one), and it's presented pretty much in the same way as Nella's own content, meaning downloadable videos and photosets in very high quality (I'll get back to quality details in a second).
It looks like all this bonus content is from a sligtly older site from the same company, Evelyn's World, with another stunning Czech hottie, Evelyn Lory. That site has been closed down and Evelyn's got a new site as well (with much of the same content I imagine) - I won't review it for the time being, but it definately looks like it's worth checking out (I very much assume it has plenty of content that isn't in the bonus section at Club Nella), so here's a link to Evelyn's Glam0ur.
Considering the nature of this content and the way it's presented, I have obviously included it in the content quantity score, at least to some extent - afterall it's not all that different from the many other girls you get at sites like Club Sandy (nope, Club Nella isn't from the 21Sextury guys despite the "club" name similarity) and Eve Angel. Both those sites had a strong presence from the leading babe right from the start though, which unfortunately isn't quite the case with Club Nella.
I think that just about covered the content, let's look at the technical quality of those videos and photosets.
To start with the best first, half of Nella's videos are in full HD widescreen quality at 1280x720, 3500+ kbit in DivX format (plus a few other lower quality options, including a nice looking site integrated Flash version) and the remaining ones aren't anywhere near half bad either at 960x540, 5300 kbit or 720x576, 1800 kbit. If I had to be nitpicky though (and I don't see why not when they set their quality aims this high), even the HD videos aren't quite as crystal clear as what I've seen on some of the other HD sites I've reviewed. It looks like they've deliberately gone for a slightly out of focus artistic thingie with a few of the videos, but for the rest I can either just assume that their camera equipment isn't the best you can get (I don't know squat about that particular subject though, so that's just pure speculation) or that something else went ever so slightly wrong somewhere in the process.
Don't get me wrong though - this is nitpicking as I said, the quality on these videos is still better than 99.9% of what I've seen before.
Moving on to the video quality on the bonus content before I look at photo quality, it's still great here, usually 640x480, 1500+ kbit, but some at 720x576.
And then the photos - looks like a growing number of sites are really starting to realize that a lot of us love really high resolution photos, even if we can't actually fit the entire thing into view on our monitors without zooming out. Well, I'm happy to report that at Club Nella you get ample opportunity to get a nice sharp closeup look at all her sexy bits. Photosets are available to view on the site in either a small 800 px version or a very large 2500 px version which can also be downloaded in a zip file.
There's also a "download poster size" button on most of the photoset pages, which immediately peeked my curiosity. Unfortunately this isn't the full set in an even larger size, but just a single image from the set. It is however usually a well picked photo and it certainly is quite large, approximately 4360x2900 pixel. Poster size indeed.
With regards to the bonus photosets, these also look pretty damn good at 1600 px, plus a lower 800 px version.
So overall Club Nella is a very promising site for Nella fans. I say promising, because with its still fairly limited amount of Nella content, it probably wouldn't be my first stop if I wanted to see this gorgeous Czech lady in action - unless you're more interested in her glamour photos (and she certainly does do a good job here as mentioned) than her best lesbian videos, and at least for now you'll probably still find those at ALS Scan and Sapphic Erotica.
In any case, even if I don't keep my membership once my first month runs out, Club Nella is definately a site I expect to revisit very soon, and once we get to see more of Nella I expect that the score I've handed out will go up several points.
