I just figured out how to upload images very simple while creating a reply there is a section called "additional options" in that section there is a button that says "Attach Files" then "browse" for images and then click "upload" it is that simple. The only problem is that you can only upload 5 images per post.

Anyway I have attached some sample colors, but they don't help me in deciding how they will look on my brown eyes. Any advice would be helpful.

I have found that with dark eyes it is really hard to get a natural look, however the colorblends give you the most natural look because of the rings of color that blend to brown at the edges. For dark colored eyes this is the best. For an example of the colors goto

I dont like dot matrix contacts, compared to painted lenses they're very fake. These colorblends are hideous in my opinion, and only the Turquoise Blue gets away. Curiously the Freshlook Colors (not colorblends) Green look very natural on my hazel eyes but the rest of them are very unnatural.

I agree the colorblends are just an cheap dot-matrix mass-produced excuse for a more natural looking lense. They ARE more natural than the solid color Durasoft 2 Colors. But not by much. The Complements are not disposable so you can just see the quality they put into the printing of the color on them. I haven't tried painted lenses yet so please tell more about it. What manufacturer, colors and pictures. Which are suitable for dark eyes? (Opaque)

Default New Colors!

CB has put up new colors
I think they're supposed to be "brighter". Has anyone seen what they look like in real life?

BTW, I don't think CB are unnatural looking. I wear CB grey all the time and alot of people think I just have unusually light eyes. I have to tell them to come really close to see my brown eyes underneath:

Freshlook Colorblends just came out with 3 more colors. sterling gray, brilliant blue, and this other version of green...they claim to be more dramatic than the older colors. I got my sterling grays the other day, and they look more blue gray than anything else...

The gray and Hazel to me look most natural. The Sterling Gray looks more Blueish and upclose it looks a bit fake to me. Great for night time. Same w their new Green...its toooo green....their Brilliant Blue looked like fake blue...out of new colors I vote fr Sterling Gray...but Colorblends in HAzel and Gray is the best. Very natural. I got a bunch on Amazon for very cheap so tried each one for coupe days and i sticl t thoses colos for naturality of it

Post Freshlook - Turquoise on brown eyes.

Just a Demo I got today, wearing only so you can see the difference. I was looking into a really bright light so as you can see my pupil is very small and you can see the brown. But that isn't normally like that.
I really like this color, and may just buy some Durasoft 3 colorblends instead of freshlook. Freshlook are not comfortable to me. I would think the Durasoft would be, becaue they are annual lenses, and $90 per lens. lol

Default Soloticas on Amazon

ok the vendor i just looked up is www.amazon.com/shops/colormyeyes...I got them in plano but they do come in prescription since my sister roomy got a pair. Its $150 total including shipping. Other sites charge $30 for shipping, their shipping is $5.99. Came with lens holder and in glass vials W are super happy w them. I am not buying any other lens,its a waste of $ when this lens comes out to $10 a month. I pay $80 a month for my fake nailslol

Vendor was so nice, answered my questions n matter of seconds.

Cool Website that ships Solotica's to US

http://www.lensmarketplace.com

I just found it. They ship to US and Cost comes out to be only $118.16 including shipping. Sounds pretty good to me, but what is the base curve and diameter of these lenses? I don't even think it askes for doctor info either! lol Hmmmm.. Wonder if they are legit...

I checked out this site and it looked very pretty, and it seems to be based outside the United States, and for that reason they may not ask for a prescription. The base curve listed for the Solotica "Hidrocharme" here (Is that spelled correctly? That's how it is on the website.) is 8.7 and the diameter is 14.2. Some contacts only come in one size, and that may be the case for Soliticas, but I don't know very much about them.
I'd check with my doctor before ordering if I were you. Since they only come in one size they won't need a prescription for that, but they should want your doctor's information if they are legit. I guess they should try and check and see if you're legit.

Default Sloticas from Amazon

Really? We all got ours for $150 total...where did u find for $118? I am not sure then thats the vedor we dealt with. The one on Amazon was Colormyeyes, they are US based since they answered our emails right away, they speak English. MAke sure :
1.The company is US based and deals w Amazon
2.They ask to verify your prescription before getting them in prescription
3.Make sure they explain the color since they all have strange names

I wouldn't mind coming really close to those eyes.
