How to create this vivid green/blue shade with directions?

Directions is the cheapest dye to by where I live and also the most available (seconded by Crazy Colour) so I kind of want to stick with it, I live in the Liverpool area though so anyone who has recommendations that are obtainable and better, go ahead (:

I'm looking to create a bright (preferably as long lasting as possible and all) green/blue kind of colour though not really 'turquoise'. I tried mixing lagoon blue and spring green but it turned out kinda dark for my liking at first, and also diluted alpine green at one point which turned out kinda close to the colour I want but it was kind of "dulled down" a bit. Not really as bright(luminous?) as I'd like.

I attached the two colours that are close to what I want since the links didn't work.

I was thinking fluorescent glow mixed with the lagoon blue or alpine green would work but I don't know :-[ I don't think buying it and it not being perfect would be a waste because I'd like to go that colour sometime anyway. Along with Platinum - though I'm too scared to go either because of the lightening that would be required.

Any help would be appreciated  πŸ˜€

The links didn't go through, it can't be to any sort of competing website or anything like that.

What color is you base, like what color did you lighten it to? If you want a more luminous green/blue, using some flo glow in the mix would help, but if we knew your base color and could see a photo of what you would like to have we would be better able to help πŸ™‚ You could try saving a photo and uploading it to photobucket or imgur or a site like that and posting the link

I attached the two images - the first one (more bluey) is the vividness I want but I'd like a tidge more green I think. That colour is lovely though.

My hair is like a pastelly mint;

Turquoise and Fluorescent Glow mixed can make some lovely vivid greens, Flo Glow is pretty overpowering so I would mix with a blue rather than a green. The top pic was Directions Apple green and Flo Glow, with MP Voodoo Blue. Any of the Directions blues apart from Neon blue will mix well with Flo Glow.
