Dip Dye ~ Hair Inspiration

It has come. It is finally approaching the time when I will be re-dying my hair. In order to give my scalp a few more months to recover (it got a little beat up last time I bleached the hell out of my hair - be warned, learn from my lessons) I have decided to do a proper gradient/ombre dip dye! I'm so excited! I'm thinking of going from blue to purple and maybe ending on pink but there are so many cool options out there!

sources: 

one ~ natural brown to pink to purple

two ~ light pink to dark fuschia

three ~ red to orange 

four ~ dark blue to light blue 

five ~ natural brown to dark pink to pastel pink 

six ~ ginger to blonde

seven ~ pastel purple to pastel pink 

eight ~ black to purple 

nine ~ white to black

ten ~ pastel pink to pastel blue, I love how the eyebrows match the beginning of the gradient

eleven ~ natural ash blonde to pastel pink 

twelve ~ natural brown to green to purple

thirteen ~ light purple to light turquoise

fourteen ~ natural brown to forest green

fifteen ~ light grey to purple

So, have you seen any amazing ombre hair recently?

Nail of the Day + Hair Updates

Nail Of The Day.
Straight out, I absolutely love this colour. It is so gorgeous! My boyfriend and I had our own little christmas the other day and this was one of my presents from him. What's great is that I wouldn't have chosen this colour myself but once it was on my nails I was so pleased, I seriously couldn't (and still can't) stop staring at it.
It's Rimmel's Green With Envy (819), which is an odd name since it really isn't that green, I'd personally give it a more 'Mermaid's Tear' sort of name, because it's actually a really lovely teal colour. It's also part of their "60 Seconds" range which meant even though I needed 3 coats it took no time at all.
All in all, I am unexpectedly in love with this colour.

Purple Hair, Continued.
This part is in answer to interest some people expressed in how well my hair dye fades. I know a lot of people worry about this sort of thing; when it comes to dying hair un-natural colours and how quickly it fades and needs renewing.
For a proper reminder look here, which has photos of my hair the day after I dyed it purple (Directions - Plum).
It's been a month since I dyed it and in that time I washed it about 6 times (with lots of dry shampoo), which I know to people who don't dye their hair is just horrendous but to those of you who do dye you know it's pretty much the norm. As you can see the colour has only just started fading, which is amazing. The first photo of the post is also a month's worth of fade.

You might have noticed my roots are a little odd looking (sort of fushia), this has nothing to do with the dye and every thing to do with my roots not being as bleached as the rest of my hair.
If you have any more questions on hair dying feel free to ask, I'm thinking about doing some form of hair dye review/FAQ post possibly in the future and maybe show some of my previous colours (pink, red, turquoise...) Tell me what you think!

Here's just a quick comparison between when it was first dyed to a month later.

Hello.
So, if you hadn't already noticed from earlier posted I have unnautrally coloured hair. Unfortunately my roots awere getting extreme(ly bad!) and the colours had faded into rather unattractive colours so today I redyed my hair (with the aid of the Wife, a.k.a Nic).
I've finished the proccess just this minute and will definitely upload some photos of it soon but until then here are some photos I used as inspiration.
