The Nuclear Red is officially "faded," it turned orange. I've been working allot recently (work as a metal scrapper and have been fixing up my car) so I've been showering around twice a day, so it looks like it'll survive around 10-15 washes. Starts out a dark red, not purply gothy red, but red red. Fades to a light orange. 

I went to Sallys and got some Manic Panic Rock N' Roll Red, see if that fairs any better. 

Manic Panic works if you Shampoo your hair first if you don't then it doesn't really take. this is in relation to enchanted forest and electric lizard greens.
electric lizard isnt a very good color tho. I find Directions spring green is much better.

star gazer is fuckin brill if u wash ur hair with cold water its perminant 4eva

manic panic sucks balls the colour fades quiker then the peoples trust with nick clegg

crazy colour is very good but expensive as fuck

so yea star gazer very good XD

white's a tricky color. you gotta bleach your hair as light as possible and then add a really light purple in very even small amounts. i think manic panic makes a color to do this. but i would definitely recommend bleaching first.

 

P.S. looked it up it's called "virgin snow" but i haven't used it so i can't vouch for it personally. i've only done this with purple color mixes i got from salons and shit.

I think thats what toner is, very very very light purple that takes the orange tones out of bleached hair
Just used punky colors-purple yesterday. It came out the most gorgeous fusha I think I've ever seen. Very pink in the sun, more purple/pink indoors. Barely stained my skin. I am in love..
Sounds lovely!  Hope to see some photo's. :)  And that it doesn't fade quick.
Here's an indoor one


hopefully I'll get a picture of it in the sun soon. And I'll try to remember to report back for how well the color keeps!
Haha thanks..

That is lovely looking!  With all three colours - and the fusha reallly did come out nice.

So I got dove intensive repair shampoo/conditioner and while it's amazing for my hair it has severely stripped my color after just one wash. I'm going to continue to use it for now, I'll have to try the colors again after my hair gets nice and healthy.
