Bleaching gone wrong, need advice on best dyes to cover! :)

Hey! I am new to this forum and basically just need a bit of advice. Ive had a bit of a dodgy bleach job from my sister and need some help in getting the blonde i actually want. I went just wanting highlights; my hair was light brown. The highlights went orange due to the colour build up i had (ive dyed my hair red quite a bit too). The majority of my hair went orange and there were only a few streaks of brown so we just bleached the whole head again a few days after, was still orange but with yellow as well. We then put on a semi permanent, cant remember the brand, but it was a light ash blonde and the results are the pictures in this post. It was a massive improvement on what it looked like before but still obviously not what i want. When i was younger i had dirty blonde hair, i want to go to a colour like that again, but without the grey/green tinge some dirty blondes can have. I would love if anyone could give me any advice on what colour/ brand to use to help me get the results i want, i only really want to use a toner or a semi permanent due to the damage ive already got from the bleaching. Ive included some pictures of my hair now for reference and some pictures of the colour i like (i know i wont have the blonde streaks but i like the base colours). I really really need some help and would appreciate any replies, im in the uk as well πŸ™‚ thanks in advance!

I do not own the last two picture, using as reference.

The dyes I would recommend are Adores Mocha and Medium brown. Both are dark browns, mocha is warm toned, medium brown is very ash toned. If you mix them and dilute heavily with conditioner you can make some natural blonde shades.
I would actually make two mixes, one with more Medium brown for the orange ends and one with more Mocha for the top, lighter parts.
You will have to experiment to get the proportions and dilution just right, so try on strand tests.
Adore is a direct dye, so totally non-damaging and can be purchased from Beeunique. (link at the top of the page)
