Directions Rubine + Directions Tulip

So, after almost 1 year of purple, I finally decided to get a new color. I've been eyeing a deep red, and asked around on this forum (with a reference-pic) of which colors to use, and the tips were Tulip and rubine, so I went for it.

Started with 2 packs of bleach (because long and thick hair.. meh) which get 80% of the colour out, I didn't get it all out, because we ran out of bleach, so I tried to use a pack of color B4 on the remaining purple.. which just made it blue. But we (my bestfriend and me) thought that blue + red = purple/burgundy-ish, so it would be fine with some different colors in there, so we left the blue there.

So, I mixed 1 pot of tulip and 1 pot of rubine (had to use about 1 1/2 pot of each in total) and this is the result. I'm atleast very happy with it. I've been a redhead before, but that was more of an bright, intense red (Manic Panic Pillarbox red and Directions Poppy red). I really wanted a deeper and a little more subtle red-hue now πŸ™‚

I love this. Does it look exactly like this in real life? I am looking for a tone which will look red and pink in different lights.

It's kinda hard to get the color 100% right in pictures, but it might show a bit more pink in the pictures than it is irl.

My color under the blue (actually turqoise, but it got color b4'd into a blue) was a bleached yellow. πŸ™‚
