So, this pillarbox red is starting to fade a tad.....I can always dye it with more red......but I'm thinking about going green again...

But Electric Lizard had WAY too much management necessary, so I thought about going a bit darker. But I don't want it as dark as Enchanted Forest, so I was thinking about Green Envy. But in the "Best of the Best" Manic Panic site, one lady has a light shade of green, exactly what I'm looking for...on the other hand, the other two seem to have darker shades that I don't want.....

Does anyone ave any other images in regards to Green Envy? If not, does anyone at least have any experience with this green?

I do. Although it should be noted, mine came out ALOT darker. Due to:
~Hair not being bleached enough (to like an orange blonde)
~Originally trying to dye it SFX Iguana Green, that color came out way to light and barely showed up. So the Green Envy went over this and orangey blonde.
~Don't remember how long I left it in... maybe not long enough to make a brighter color.

Mine's even darker than on the MP site. The hair swatch in the store (although you can never go by those) looked almost black. Then again, lighting was poor.
Anyway, here it is, I guess.

Need more tell me, but they're not that great. I was using a video camera, so the quality wasn't that good, so the color might have came out even darker in the picture.
It will probably come out lighter on better bleached hair that wasn't dyed previous.

I've never seen green envy that dark and I've used it 3 times now.
These pictures are from two different dye jobs, bleached to white-blond first and I'll specify how long it's been in.


Day of dying. Poor lighting, sorry.


Day or two after dying. In noonday sunlight.


Six weeks. Faded.

worm3rck, you's does look dark, like on the site.....

but Jhop's first picture is EXACTLY as I want it, only, your second photo looks kinda bluish green. Maybe that just because of the red blending, but that looks VERY much like Enchanted forest.....

If you want it a bit lighter just mix some conditioner with the dye.

I think the glare from the sun caused that effect. I searched around a bit and found some more photos with green envy in them. I just combined the 3 I found to save space.

2 in a bright auditorium, 1 in my dim and slightly yellow-tinted bathroom. All pictures are from within a week of dying. It fades and stays at a lighter shade of green after the first week or two, but isn't as light as my week 6 photo until...about week 5 or 6? :P

Yeah, I wanted it like Jhop's came out... but as I said, made loads of mistakes.
