So I replied, saying, actually, yes, I rather fancied going pink if they had anything suitable - and the next day when my Fudge Paintbox in Pretty Flamingo arrived, I couldn't wait to get it on my hair!
Pretty Flamingo is a bright, hot pink - so I also used Whiter Shade of Pale, the toner with it to try to tone it down slightly.
My hair is ombred, so I knew the bleached ends would take the colour pretty well. I decided to take the colour all the way through to the tops of my hair, even though it wouldn't turn pink, it would help to blend it in, and any of the lighter parts would pick up the pink. I used the Pretty Flamingo on its own on the dark parts of my hair, and the dye with toner on my bleached ends.
After washing and towel drying my hair, I applied it with my hands while I wore latex gloves, then brushed it through. I then left it to develop for 30 minutes, and as per the instructions, rinsed it out until the water ran clear, then shampooed and conditioned it.
To say I adore it is an understatement! The different tones in my hair originally means there are so many different tones of pink running through my hair. Fudge Paintbox lasts typically between 3-30 washes, so it's great for experimenting but I am definitely going to keep mine pink for a while. The only difference is I may switch to Pink Moon which is more of a pastel pink shade as, although Pretty Flamingo is lovely, I was definitely hoping for a more pastel colour. I'm so tempted to just go for it and bleach my whole head now - arghhhh!!
Fudge Paintbox costs £9.95 per tube and is available from www.fudge.com
