^ That's really pretty !! My favorite shade of purple. <3

I just wish the purple ring is thicker, so that the color really covers the real color of the eyes.

I'm planning on buying some circle lenses, but I have a couple questions since I'm new to them.

-How do you know what the base curve of your eyes are?
-How do you put them in and take them out?
-Should I go to the optometrist just because before I get contacts? (I have 20/20 vision, so I'll probably get planos.)
-Which contacts have the most water content? (Nudys?)

Thanks!~ smile.gif

i dunno, optometrist is useless to me.
She gave me freshlooks and acuvue2 color, both were failures.
I've 20/20, but when I wore those brands, my vision was very blurry and had eyes irritation.
She couldn't figure out why I had those problems sleep.gif

Nudy is the best <3. Clear vision and high water content

Wow, are those your real eyelashes? If they are, I'm so jealous. I've got like ten stick-straight, super-thin, quarter-inch lashes on each eye, haha. Yours look so full and feathery. The contacts look great on you, too.

Am I the only one that thinks that Nudy lenses are not all that comfortable ?

I bought Nudy Brown because I wanted a pair of visible brown lens. I like the color and all but they move around A LOT when I wear them, I think it's due to the high water content and the fact that I have watery eye balls... lOL but yeah I can't wear them to lectures and stuff. I find bescon lenses A LOT more comfortable (I can wear them up to 8 hours without using eye drops and throughout the day I sometime forget that I'm wearing lenses).


If they move around alot its possible that their base curve doesn't fit your eyes. They only fit if your eyes' base curve is plus/minus 0.2 I think.

't - yeah, nudys weren't that comfortable. I worn them to school, and it fell out. I put one on in the bathroom, and it stung and teared like he**. =o=
I haven't tried bescons yet, but I'm getting my tutti greys soon. <3

has anyone tried free teen browns & grey?! PICTURES?! (not violet)


Ummm I've tried Free Teen Circle Brown... the brown isn't very visible if your eye color is naturally dark.

It's not base curve for sure. Nudy's BC is 8.6 and all of my other lenses are all 8.6 and none of them ever slide around like the Nudy Brown.

^ Probably you wear it inside out?

When I wear it inside out, when I blink, it moves around, it doesn't want to stay centered.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm definitely going to see the optometrist soon. I don't want to waste money getting contacts that don't fit my eye. biggrin.gif

Can you resist the temptation?

Are you sure you didn't order the PRE-ORDER lens, because those lens take about 2 weeks to arrive to the seller, since they have to order it from their manufacturer itself and then once it arrives to the seller, they ship it to you.

^ Well, each brand varies per person. I think the Bescons have the most "realistic" look so far. Nudy's are really pale and really bright and have the highest water content. Dueba's are supposedly the best selling in Korea and are the thinnest lenses that you can get out there (I think?)... G&G's are probably the most "uncomfortable," but aside from my issues with my mild astigmatism, I find them perfectly comfortable. A little "heavy" (if anyone can understand what that feels like), but that might be because I haven't cleaned them properly? I have OLD OLD solution that you still have to rub and basically I think it left some alcohol residue on the lenses which is why they felt kinda "heavy." I might have to buy those protein enzyme tablets to help make them feel more comfortable.


As long as you take care of them properly and carry around rewetting drops, you should be fine.

But yes, it's Bescon Tutti [color]. Bescon is the brand, Tutti is the "model."


I was gonna get Nudy's because I get chronic dry eyes, but my friend told me that they look really freaky on her and since we have similar features (small eyes, simliar skin tone, etc) ... I decided to lay off because I want a more realistic everyday look. So I settled for Dueba's which I think are also really popular in terms of color as well... I really want to get a pair of Tutti grays though because... hehe... I want JaeJoong eyes!

^Your friend is right though. Nudy lenses are a bit difficult to pull off because they're so light in colour, and the design looks strange unless I'm wearing strong eye makeup to offset it. So in other words, not very natural, but for some occasions, unnatural is good ;] They're still not the first thing I'd reach for as daily wear, though.

I think I'm in the minority about their comfort too....well, technically they are comfortable, but they don't seem to stay in one place once put on, to the effect that I can literally feel the lens moving with every blink....I can only imagine how disconcerting it is for other people to try and maintain eye contact while your lens are jumping up and down. biggrin.gif The B.C of the nudy's are the same as any other contact lens I have worn in the past, yet they still refuse to settle in place, damn things...

Also, I keep hearing that Nudy's have the highest water content, but I checked last night, and both of my bottles are clearly marked as 38%, which is the same as the lens manufactured by Bescon and G&G. So I'm wondering what's up with that since on the website it says 42% as well...unless my nudy's are counterfeit? :[ Hopefully not...

^ That's strange. I looked at the mirror and blinked many times, I didn't see them moving around.

About the water content on the bottle ... I wonder if I still have them in the trash can, probably not, but I'll check them out later when I get home.


Did you get them from the seller who lives in Mississauga, Canada ?

I got them from a seller in Singapore...=/ Slightly worried now...it would be great if you could check out the water content on your bottle for me though, thanks!! ^^

I did find it strange how almost no one on this thread has complained yet about the nudys shifting around....I'll try wearing them again for a brief time tonight (just incase they are in fact counterfeit) and try flipping them either way to see if they settle. If not and the water content turns out to be different....into the garbage they go >_>

Yeah, I photoshopped myself wearing the Nudys before I decided on my purchase. Granted, it's probably not the most reliable or accurate method, but it was the easiest since I haven't seen anyone modeling Nudy Greys yet. Just brown or blue or the violet. She said the same thing about makeup, but she has single eyelids (and so do I) so it makes things even more complicated when getting up in the morning b/c she said that without double eyelids AND makeup it looks weird.... Still, when it's the same (or about the same) price for lenses for everyday wear or occaisional wear (and let's face it, only with Halloween coming up do I have an "occaision" to wear bright circle lenses to) ... no point, right?

So I settled for Dueba DM23 Greys. We'll see how that goes in a few weeks time. I'll post pics if I remember.

Oh and about the contacts settling... it varies per person. When I was fitted for contacts (oh so many years ago), my optometrist commented that my eyelid was VERY tight against my eyeball and therefore my lenses had to accomodate for that as well. I used to wear Bausch & Lomb contacts (now I think they're called SofLens 59? I used to wear TwoWeeks) but they were constantly moving around... but I think that was because my eyelid was so tight against my eyeball that it would irritate the lens. I don't have a problem with the G&Gs though.. but I haven't worn them for a prolonged period of time (like an hour max) recently. So that could just be it. I don't think there's any way to tell except unless you're a professional. Chances are you didn't get counterfeit lenses (I sure hope not cause we ordered from the same seller!) but that contacts are different for just about everyone.

have you tried the bescon and g&g lenses?
do they feel the same? O_O


but mine's also say 38% water so idk ><
cos my nudys do feel more comfortable than my bescons
and i don't think we all can buy "fake" since i believe we all bought from different people.
