Base for turquoise?

I've done a bleach bath and was wondering if this would be light enough base for Directions turquoise?
If not would a toner make a difference? Thanks!
(There is heavily diluted carnation pink over the top, but its mostly a sort of peachy colour)

I'd think it'd cover. I covered this :

With directions turquoise and it turned out like this :

My pink was darker than yours, so I think you should be fine. My pictures were of the old turquoise though, if you're uncertain you can always do a strand test. πŸ™‚

Have you tried a colour remover?

I think it will cover, but as it's quite a peachy colour, it's possible it's going to be starting to push to the greener, maybe even slightly muddy side. I would definitely strand test.

With Rij's purer pink it pushed it to the bluer side.

Directions turquoise now is teal/green. If you want sth like Rij's hair, i.e. blue turquoise, try atlantic blue + tuquoise, or aquamarine by adore, good luck!

It would cover but the fade might be entirely off, I posted the current fade in my timeline yesterday, it is really something to consider since it goes so much more tealgreenwtf shade, it used to fade very nice over pinks but now i would be careful with it.

Thanks ladies! I've been and got some colour b4, and I have some neon blue which I might try to throw in the mix as I would like a bluer shade of turquoise like yours Rij.
I don't want to risk a muddy uneven fade. I actually really like the way yours has faded Aeryu!

Perfect description. Spot on. You should be the one naming all the hairdyes in the industry. LOL

I know right? It describes my emotions towards the new formula 100%. Directions should consider renaming.
