Should I use white toner or wait for it to fade off?

Hi guys, I need advice on whether or not I should use a white toner at this stage.

I bleached my hair twice (from a very dark brown) and it was in a pretty light shade (even though it was a bit orangey), and I went on with putting on La Riche turquoise dye anyways.

It turned out really nice but it was a bit too greenish than turquoise for my taste (because I didn't use a white toner before hand)

The problem I have now is is it too late a stage for me to use a white toner before dying it again?
I wish to achieve a more blueish than greenish tint.

Or should I just wait for the colours to fade off completely and bleach it again?

Need advice. I have no former hair dying experiences!

Thanks in advanceee πŸ™‚  *1*

I've never tried it that way round but you could always speed the fading along and start again?

Your result turned out more green because your base was too dark, white toner wouldn't have helped. (It won't even show up on orangey hair, it is designed to be used on light blonde only)
So your options are to fade it and lighten your base further, or tone the green to a more blue shade. Diluting pink or purple and putting it over the turquoise will make it a truer blue, try on a strand test to get the right dilution.
You really need a fully bleached base for blues though, you will constantly need to top up to counteract  the muddy fade over an orangey base.
