Best-looking (pref. Disposable) Color Lenses for Dark Eyes

So I love the look of some of the vial lenses, however I think disposable lenses would probably be a better option for me as, I'll admit, don't take the #1 best care of my lenses. I think starting fresh with a new pair every two weeks or every month is probably healthier for my eyes. My base curve is 8.7 and diameter is 14.4, but do my lenses have to have these measurements? The only colored lenses I've found so far that match up, vial or disposable, are expressions by coopervision, which I have worn before. I just ordered a box for each eye in green.
Does anyone have any other reccommendations for lenses that look better that I could try? Although I'd prefer disposable, I'd be open to vial lenses also.

Hi lizzypoo.

Taking a quick look at Lens.com, I found FreshLook ColorBlends. They don't have your parameters exactly, but they come in a base curve of 8.6 and a diameter of 14.5. If your eye doctor will agree to write you a prescription for these numbers, then fine. If not, check out the contacts on this page: http://www.lens.com/contact-lenses/department95.asp

I hope that helps.
