Default Emergency solotica alternative needed!

Hi guys, I'm going on holiday on the 22nd of this month and was planning to get a pair of solotica hidrocharme ice so I could have my baby blues for the trip. However, I didn't know how long it took to get the soloticas so now I won't be able to order them and receive them in time

Does anyone know another lens that will give the light, light blue that Hidrocharme Ice does to dark brown eyes that I can purchase before I go on holiday? And preferrably a lense that has a similiar natural look, I don't want the quite fake look of Expressions or Natural Touch or anything. Any help would be amazing!

Thanks guys!

Hello Wisney. Welcome to Lens 101. I'm sorry your Solotica order won't get to you in time, but I really can't say "Try X brand color contacts, they look just like Soloticas." Since this forum is sponsored by a website that sells contact lenses, I'm going to direct you there. Just click on the big red rectangle at the top of the page and look around that site. I hope you find something you like, and at a good price. Let us know, OK?

Thanks for the response but none of the lenses on lens.com can offer me the look I want. I'm just looking for a lens that can give me a nice, light, natural-ish colour like soloticas can. I've been searching all day yesterday and all day today and just can't find what i'm looking for

Sorry to hear that Wisney. Maybe if you post a picture of the look you want, we can get to work looking for something like it. You say you're looking for a "light, light blue," but there's nothing like that at Lens.com or any other place you've looked, right? So what is it about the Soloticas that's so unique? Is it the particular shade of blue? The pattern of the color? What's lacking in all the others you've seen?

Hey there. Ok, crisis might have been averted, I managed to order some from a different sight and paid for express delivery so hopefully they will arrive in time. If they do, I will make sure to post pictures here

That's great, Wisney. I'm glad to hear it . . . or should I say . . . read it? Looking forward to the pictures. Can I ask a small favor? Would you mind posting a picture of your face when you show off the contacts, and not just your eyes? I see an abundance of "eyeball pictures" and they really don't give a sense of what the lenses look like in the contacts of the person's face, you know what I mean?

If you must, but if you're wearing your beautiful new colored contact lenses, why not show how good you look in them? Show us that dazzling smile. What about when you're wearing them out and about? Are you going to cover half of your face?



Maybe you're you're so good looking that when people see you they will flood lens.com with orders from people who say "I want to be as hot as Wisney!"

Don't worry. We'll try to control ourselves, right Lens 101 members? We have a lot of good-looking members, so you'll be in good company.
