hi de ho!

I've decided that I really don't like my current colour at all so it has to go!!  *boo*

I am going to do a JoBaz + a bleach bath (if needed) and try to get it to a light gingery base if I can. I am fancying something on the pink spectrum this time but want something a little different to the normal bright pink or pastel....so, what kind of colour would I get with these...

Directions Carnation Pink
Directions Rubine
Directions Purple mixture of random amounts of previous colours + conditioner but it's pretty close to plum(ish)

Was thinking of mixing the first 2 together to get a reddy pink then maybe adding a little of the purple concoction for a bit of extra depth...what do you think?

**EDIT** Well, I ended up it a kind of corally pinky orangey base so decided to just do the carnation and rubine mixed with about the same amount again of conditioner...It looked to be a nice pinky red in the tub but seems to be a much brighter pink once it was on my hair so maybe I should very put a bit of the purple mix in too after all but I can always add that in next time...leaving it on overnight so I'll report back in the morning! TTFN πŸ™‚

Thanks
A xXx

I really don't advice on the directions dye, at least for me they faded really fast.

Im not a fan of carnation on me, it always goes corally, which, on me looks like its just gone wrong, even if I wanted coral hair  ;D  carnation at first went almost highlighter pink but faded so fast to a dull coral. 

Im late to comment, so looking forward to your result this morning.

Well, the mix was 50/50 Rubine & Carnation mixed with the same again of conditioner over a pinky corally base and it has turned out to be a lovely raspberry pink!!  *1*

I really like it, it some lights it looks more red and in others it is a definite pink!

Photos = before (it wasn't that purple after the first wash) and after - both indoors with flash on my phone camera so not great quality!

I know it's not quite what you were going for, but it's a really good pink!
