Title: Contact lenses
Post by: FlickerYourOwnIdentity on February 05, 2014, 08:52:54 PM
Even though I wear glasses, I want to freak family and friends out every now and then, so I want to get a pair of colored contacts.  I want to ask what color you think would be the most impactful?

Red, black, or cat eye come to mind

Those might work, but I still think red/black would be better.  However, I haven't seen white ones, they might be good too.

Here's a couple suggestions to freak them out.

Full Black (http://www.colouryoureyes.com/collections/blues-greens-coloured-contact-lenses/products/black-sclera-contact-lenses)
Sauron (http://www.colouryoureyes.com/collections/halloween-contacts/products/hades-contact-lenses)

Non RX contacts are very very uncomfortable

Don't expect to get prescription contacts AND have them in an awesome design. 99% of optometrists won't do it, and the ones that do usually screw it up. I recommend going with prescription contacts that change the colour if you're gonna do it at all, but no designs like cat eyes or the Eye of Sauron.

Ok thanks for the advice guys, ultimately went with red, not sure what kind of red, but they will be indeed, red.

Along with that, I plan to dye my hair, what color shall you suggest?   Currently wanting a silver, but I am flexible

What colour deck do you play primarily? If its got red in it, use a colour that you also use.

Play Izzet? Blue hair!
Play Jund? Black with green tips!

If I only I knew what that meant.

Stray, this is just to freak people I see day to day out.  Not for magic.

But seeing as you said that, and I have some spare aqua blue hair dye lying around, and I play Izzet, thanks!  I love that idea and will define rely use it when I am playing magic with them! :)

You are most kind.

That's why I eventually wanna get the Pirate Captain outfit from Black Flag. It had {R}{W}{B} in it, so whenever I play a serious game of EDH, they'll know what colours I'm using. XD

But my hair is so luscious and long (enough), I would never want to loose it. :(

Well if you're cutting at least 6" off

Donate it to a proper foundation if you've never dyed it before

(Not locks for love as they CHARGE for the wigs)

Just so we are clear, I am keeping my hair. 

Any tips on dyeing hair silver?

Don't expect it to happen after the first try. You'll likely need to give it a few goes before its ready for silver dye.

I've seen some posts saying to bleach your hair beforehand, then dye it violet for a silver color.

Good idea or bad?

This will work but make sure your hair is very bleached, practically white. Some people hair that is naturally resistant to bleach and it comes out an orange color, if you put violet on top of that it will be really violet.
