So I'm quite disappointed with the turn out. It's way more green than blue πŸ™ I bleached my hair (full bleach 45 minutes) and my hair barely lifted, I end up with bits of peach, orange, yellow and blonde, but I've got an interview Tuesday so couldn't wait another month to dye! . Is there anything I can do to make it more blue and less muddy? Even If it's adding splashes of different colour.

I really like the outcome.  try popping midnight and/or neon blue on top for a darker richer result for the time being πŸ™‚

I'm not sure il get it delivered in time now, I have Atlantic blue if that will work? It's kind of growing on me, I think it was just a shock at first..  The only other dyes I have are pink, an plum, I doubt they'd be much help either!

I actually really love that it's a deep emerald green! Jewel tones are awesome. πŸ™‚

I actually love that! What dye did you use? It looks a little like Alpine went on me.

Try your Atlantic over the top. You need a paler base for a true blue though. I love the colour you got though, its gorgeous.

Wow those photos are  gorgeous!  
Il try the Atlantic blue probably in a few days . Do you think I'd be able to bleach bath this in a month to get a better base for a blue-er blue? Obviously after some serious fading beforehand! I don't mind a greeny blue at all, I was expecting some green, but I didn't get expect to not see blue at all haha I've had quite a few compliments at home already so I'm much happier now! I just realised I have no idea how il get my hair extensions to match now either -,-

It's really pretty, even if it's not what you intended!  You can try putting blue over it to get it a bit more teal, but I don't think it'll go very blue.
