Removing blue tones from bleached hair?

So I'd bleached my hair and used Atlantic Blue on it, but am now trying to get it to a pale blonde colour. I used Colour B4 which did nothing, presumably because the blue had saturated the bleached hair so much. I tried just bleaching it with Scharzkopf XXL, and although a lot of the colour came out, it's still very obviously pastelly blue with a few greeney bits. I don't want to bleach the hair again as it's already a little delicate - what's the best way to get this to a natural-looking blonde colour? Would an orange based toner work, or is what's left too ingrained in the bleached hair to come out now?

I would seriously recommend trying another colour remover, even a cheaper brand than colour b4 because they can do more than the first time visibly, especially if the colour was much more saturated before.

Also have you tried other fading methods? The bleach powder with shampoo mix works well for shifting stubborn colours. There's a tutorial on it in the tutorials section.

A picture would help with deciding if a toner would work for you, it's hard to  tell without seeing πŸ™‚
