Circle Lens Review: i.Fairy Hanabi Grey

I promised I would try to stay updated with the Reviews so that's what I'm trying to do : D!

And there is this Glare effect, I do not know where it came from.

This one is on the i.Fairy Hanabi Grey which I purchased from Geo-Lens House which is a Facebook store. They have many i.Fairy Lenses, Kimchi, Geo, Dolly+, Moe Moe and Keizen so check them out when you get a chance :3. They were about 16-17USD.

Now the Hanabi Grey's weren't my first pick, I wanted the Dolly+ in Grey but they did not have my Prescription in stock. I asked another Store and they were out of my Prescription as well. So I substituted with the Hanabi Grey's.


A close up of the Pattern of the lens and the lens itself. As you see it has a thick solid outer black ring which helps with the Enlarging effect of the Lenses. The Actual "Iris" part of the lens is a Heavy Grey with black strips going in a swirl motion outward. The Lens itself is 14.5/14.7mm in Diameter, the enlarging effect is 16.2mm.

Here's one with one lens in and one lens out.


As you see there is definitely a huge difference in the size of the contact on my Right eye in this picture verse my Left eye in the picture.

This is not a lens that is hard to notice, it is very noticeable even in not so low/poor lighting. Even if they can't tell the exact grey because sometimes in low lighting grey can come off as a Blue, you know you have some large eyes, haha.

Comparing Hanabi Grey to Geo Ash Grey:



The Geo Ash Grey isn't as vibrant of a Grey as the Hanabi's and it's also not as big in Diameter nor enlargement. I wear the Geo Ash Grey's often and I like how they look out in the Sunlight/in a Very well lit area but if you're somewhere where the Light isn't on you really then it's hard to even see what color they are. I've had many people go "Those are Grey???" Whenever they would ask if I even had on contacts while wearing them.

Now as far as the Reviewing goes

Comfort: 10/10
They are a very comfortable lens, I like how I don't feel them and that the pupil area is big so you never have to worry if you might have some color in your field of vision causing blurness.

Color & Design: 8/10
It's a nice lens but it's definitely a "Oh I KNOW you got something on" lens. Which can be okay if that is what you're going for like for Cosplay for example. But if you're like me who like the bigger lenses for the Shiny eyes and "Dolly eye" effect then this lens can be a hit or miss when it comes to it. It definitely depends on what you're wearing and the lighting to see if you get the desired Dolly eye effect that you want. As noted from above I really wanted the Dolly+ Grey's for the Dolly Eye effect but again these lenses are still nice :-).

Enlargement: 10/10
You can definitely tell the enlargement, it's a nice big enlargement. If you want something subtle this is definitely not something you want. a Subtle lens with a non-enlarging effect would be the Geo Ash Grey :-)

Overall: 9/10
I will say these lenses have me looking at the other colors in the Hanabi series. Based on the vibrant of the colors they are definitely a Cosplay type of lenses or for someone who wants the over the top lenses.
