Hi hi and welcome back for Olens Scandi review part 2/5!
Today we're focusing on the Scandi Grays~
I'm personally a sucker for gray lenses. If I was to ever be asked what color eyes I would want, Gray would be my top choice ( along with a vibrant green lol). Because of this, I always tend to purchase gray lenses but one of my biggest issues is finding a natural looking contact while still being brightly colored.
Another issue is being able to find 1 day lenses that have the same vibrancy as the monthly/quarterly/yearlys out there. (Spoiler alert: The 1day lenses look EXACTLY like the monthly)
Make the jump for the rest of the review!
First off, here's the basics of this lens line in case you missed it from part 1/5 (Olive!)

The Scandi line was first introduced with Gray, Hazel and Olive (which might be why they have both monthly and daily options) and I actually purchased Olive and Gray when they launched.
I didn't get the Hazel one because I was a huge fan of their Russian Velvet Brown and had purchased a couple pairs of that.
(I have a little bit of "floating here". Please ignore. LOL I have pretty dry eyes so I blink a lot and also have to apply eye drops constantly. You can also get this if the base curve on your lenses are incorrect. Please keep this in mind and make sure your lenses properly fit your eyes)
Color
As far as brightness goes for the Gray's, I'd rate these as a 3/5. They're vibrant and natural looking but still a bit too dark for my liking. They're enough to pull a whole look together but also natural enough for every day use.
Design
The design for this whole line is based off of being as natural as possible while still giving you bright eyes. One of the things that I noticed is that the lens actually uses your natural eye to create an illusion of a limbal ring. Because the design doesn't cover your whole entire iris, your natural colors peaks out around the edges which, when they fit perfectly, look great. Sometimes if they move around it might look weird though.
Size
Once again, perfect size for the everyday use. It doesn't enlarge but it does add an extra "Umph" to the eyes.
Comfort
5/5 on comfort! You'l probably get tired of me raving about the comfort of these lenses but I've honestly tried SO many lenses from different brands and these feel barely there when I'm wearing them.
