Today I am reviewing Dali Extra II violet circle lenses by Neo Cosmos. This is the second generation of the popular Dali Extra series (of which I own two colors), with a slight change in design.
The Dali Extra II has a black solid outer ring, with black squiggles pointing inwards, surrounding a pixelated colored part. The color is noticeable but not too bright, and blends with my real eye color quite well.

The lens bottle noted that the lenses are 14.2mm in size, but I think their enlargement effect is closer to 14.5mm.

I prefer my colored circle lenses to be stronger in color, so I compared the Extra II to my Barbie Big Size Circle Violet, which are very bright in color. Their sizes are comparable but the Extra II are darker.

Next I compared the Extra II to their first-generation counterpart in grey, and the biggest difference is the outer ring color: the first-generation lenses have a dark brown outer ring, and looks more natural on Asian eyes which tends to be dark brown as well.

Here are all the lenses worn in this review. Clockwise from the top: Extra II violet right side up, Barbie Big Size Circle violet, Extra II violet upside down, Extra grey.
FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 8/10 - To be honest I prefer the old design, the dark brown outer ring is more unique and natural.
Enlargement: 9/10 - Enlargement is noticeable.
Comfort: 9/10 - Neo lenses are often quite thin and comfortable.
TOTAL: 8.5/10 - They are pretty nice lenses even though the color is not as bright as I like.
