I'm sitting here with my pinky concoction on my head. I'll hopefully be washing it out at around 5:30, I'm hoping 2 hours on my head will be ok. It seems very bright but I like it, I'll be sure to post pics here once it's done. My hair, floor, ears, arms and chin have had a lovely pink makeover, nail varnish remover is helping though lol
I'm going crazy with excitement!  *puzz*

I'm so happy with the result, especially how healthy and moisturised my hair feels from the dye! I ended up using around a quater of the rose red and 1 1/2 pots of Flamingo pink with a couple of squirts of conditioner. It is definitely vibrant but it has lots of depth and a lovey pinkey sheen, it is extremely similar to the result I wanted! I was close to adding more red but I'm glad I didn't now. It also doesn't seem to clash with my favourite red lippy which is a bonus.

My base, I had medium-light ginger on most of it and light blond roots and strands throughout.

I can't seem to get a good view of the pink, it looks more red in photos but it is very very pinkey/purple 'in real life'. The second two reflect the pink sheen quite well, it's still not really true to the result though.

PS. Please forgive the posing, I don't take pictures much as I don't use facebook ect.

Thank you guys, I agree it makes my eyes stand out more which is always a plus.

I've just been out and I'm already receiving the looks off people. Some guy slowed his car down to stare at me hehe I'm definitely loving this pink, it's very me. Thanks to everyone who helped me make my decision.

Thank you very muchly! I'm getting lots of compliments on it from random people in the street, I'm really glad I took the plunge and didn't bottle it!

I've washed it once since dying and used conditioner only as I'm on the low-poo method. My roots are definitely showing the flamingo pink more and some of my ends are slightly darker, I'm still very pink though so no worries as of yet. I've been trying hard to photograph it and my best image that reflects the pink is one I took Saturday in Wycombe, it must be something about the lighting in stoke, I think I'm going down south to take my pictures in future lol

Please ignore my face, it never turns out well when I'm not taking the picture myself! This one definitely shows my dark pink opposed to the red colour that usually crops up.

ETA- I'm sorry that it's upside down, damn ipad, hopefully the colour is still visible!
