I think they look nice. But I may be biased, as they're purple. :p

Contacts can take a bit to get used to, but your difficulty with them may have come from the type of lens you were using. If you had a softer lens, you may want to try a firmer one, and vice versa. But with a little patience and short fingernails (do not underestimate the power of keeping your fingernails short for contact use-- I did at first and scratched my cornea, NOT FUN), I'm sure you can make it work, if that's what you want.
