Hair coloring ideaS?!

ok, my hair currently is pale blonde, a streak of purple through the right side of my bangs, a inch wide of purple about an inch above my left ear. and my very bottom layer is purple. It was with manic panic, which I wont use again. My hair is about...to my bra strap in the back. Layered, first layer starting just below the jaw line, and my bangs start at my mouth. I'm not looking to cut my hair. But I have, Ion brights magenta, purple, lavender, and aqua sitting here πŸ˜€ I'm looking for ideas. I don't want to dye my entire head I want to leave it blonde, but not sure where I want to add color. I was originally going to keep the bottom layer purple, add the aqua as a layer right above that one, including the hair directly in front of my ears. Then adding a teal and pink streak to the streak in my bangs, and just added a pink streak with the purple inch and then maybe adding lavender to the tips of my hair. BUT...I'm not sure lol. So I'm asking for some ideas. Ive tried google searching bleached hair with other colors, and I always come up with adding bleached highlights or damage from bleach, or all of hair dyed which I don't want to do. Pics would be great.

Edit: My hair parts in the middle. Sometimes I can get a lil' more bang to one side than the other.

I had someone tell me NOT to us ion brights, even tho I just bought them!! They said they bleed horribly and stain your hair?  I'm really low on money, and so I bought the ion brights, them being 4$ at my sally's.  I don't really have patiences to order anything lol.  But if in fact Ion brights is a horrible choice, what is the best semi-perm' hair color that you suggest? I did see that there was 'beyond the zone' dies there,

I could always return the ions if that brand would be better?

What brand did you use for your purple?  To be honest, most semis will bleed a bit in to the surrounding areas/colours unless washed separately.

As far as placement, I think a few haphazard chunks of colour through your underlayers and fringe would look very pretty.

Have a look at this thread http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=6950.0 there are several pics where colour is combined with blonde, I think the first one is really pretty.

I used manic panic.  I liked the color, aside from it looking blue outside,  but I didn't like having to re-dye it every 2 days to keep it that bright.  I have done a test strip of the aqua and now the magenta in my hair by ion.  The aqua isn't as bright as I thought.  But I also only left it in for 15 minutes without bleaching my hair more then it is.  So when I do the final adding of the colors I'll obviously re-bleach the areas to dye and then leave the color in for two hours.

Most dyes will fade very fast if you're washing every day and using harsh shampoos etc. They're not designed to be permanent, so fading is part of the deal (however, some do stain and end up leaving colour that's hard to shift). This thread has lots of tips on how to keep colours bright http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=11009.0
