[My future review will have pictures with flash , without flash and under natural light ^^ ]

I apologize that this post wont have it because my Nova Green has expired last week and I wouldnt want to wear it again deshou :3

The pattern , as promised

although colour does differ slightly :3 

Review :

Comfort ♥♥♥♥♡

Like my other ifairy lenses, they're quite comfortable despite their large size :D

Enlargement ♥♥♥♥♡
Love it ! Boasting a 16,2 mm diameter  isnt for nothing :3 
However , abased on personal knowledge and experience ,  do note that you shouldnt wear these kind of lenses Every single day for extended period of time ^^ Let your eyes breathe a little :3

Colour ♥♥♥♡♡
The colour isnt as striking as I would have expected from the advertorial picture , and the pattern does have clear gaps in between where your true eye colour will show .
I find it natural while not being totally subtle , since the green colour is indeed visible :3 although if you really want a striking green , maybe iFairy's Jewel green will be more obvious :3

Now, the last part (more serious part)

Circle Lenses Trivia

What are circle lenses ?

here's the wiki definition :

also known as a big eye contact lens and circle lens, is a cosmetic contact lens that makes the eye's iris appear larger; this product originated from South Korea.

So far , most of my lenses (if not all) are South Korean made :3

They often comes in many many design , from pretty to unnaturally scary interesting  ^^

consider these :

(these are purely my opinions :3, I do have a preference to non-extreme looking lenses unless for cosplay purposes ) 

I love casper violet         , but Yuri Grey's pattern (up close seems a bit off for me :(  ) 

Are they vision corrective ?

They're available in both corrective and non corrective forms :3 

Are they safe ?

This is important !! I do strongly suggest that you NEVER , EVER purchase from dubious seller no matter how cheap they charge you compared to official sellers. Nowadays , there are many many non authentic lenses from China which is making its way through the market parading in look-alike bottles of iFairy , Vassen , Geo etc . 

The latest step iFairy has taken to tackle this is by adding hologram stickers on their packaging :

End point is , DONT buy if its too cheap, dubious etc , no hologram sticker :( 

if your eyes experience ANY discomfort at all / REDNESS / ITCH upon wearing them ,  please please please  IMMEDIATELY take them off,rise them again (because it may be debri , when your first round lens washing isnt clean enough ), and try again . IF it persists , take them off and dont wear them at all. They may be fake lenses !!!

Be especially cautious because circle lenses are often ordered online :( 

Only order from trusted sources !

In fact , FDA SG caught a batch of fake lenses contaminated with the potentially dangerous bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa

(these bacteria commonly causes Soft-lenses-associated keratitis . Wiki them to know what else this bacteria can cause :( I'm not trying to scare you. I;m studying microbiology at school  as of now :(( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa )

Now , lets proceed to the 'a bit' scary part ;3 

Can I wear them every day ?

I advise you not to.

I personally only wear lenses for special occasion, events(cosplay etc) , about once or twice a week :3 . I've known people who wore them everyday without fail, but then again , do note that these people may not wear it the whole day (only a few hours everyday) . Otherwise, if you're wearing them everyday and 

The cornea (part of our eyes where the lenses rest on) relies on diffusion of Oxygen via air to 'breathe' . Wearing lenses for extended period of time may hamper oxygen transfer :( your eyes will feel strained and tired :( Even worse, yourn cornea may turn hypoxic , leading to decreased sight . 

Also , most circle lenses are for yearly use (meaning you can use them for up to one year after opening provided they're not damaged and you clean them regularly) . They're not as soft as daily lenses and prolonged use may lead to dry eyes --> leading to abrasion or minute scratching of the cornea .

An article to scare you some more :3

Point is : 
- Yes, beauty does come at a price. Using contact lenses do come at a risk . 
- MAKE SURE You wont be a victim ! Clean it regularly and throroughly . 
- ALWAYS wash your hands before putting in and taking out your lenses
- NEVER EVER get water (plain water etc) in contact with your lenses.  EVER !!!
- THis means you have to dry your hands before handling your lenses !

Be safe :3 
Hope this helps
