Here are some pics of my brand new nuclear red hair though they look orangey (even under natural light --> I'll try to adjust my camera and take other pics)

what do you think?

Looks nice even though it looks orange! I like the ribbons in it hehe.

Did it turn out orange or is it just the lighting and the camera?

Thx ^^
It's the lighting and camera though I've washed them twice and some part are becoming that orangey.

That's why I would like to know if someone can advise me a UV reactive pink: I go to a concert at the end of the month and by that time, most of the red would have turned orangey (not much remaning in the bottle) and I would like to dye part of my hair UV reactive pink . Any lasting product you can advise?

    Atomic Pink and Cupcake pink are both UV reactive.
    I think it looks great. You really suit the colour.
    Maybe this would help with taking pictures: http://haircrazy.info/miscellaneousarticles/

    I haven't used it, but I think Special Effects Atomic Pink is both UV Reactive and long lasting.^_^

    Maybe you didn't use enough dye.
    I found when I re-apply SFX that the colour goes darker.
    Either way I like it though.
    As for a pink, I'd recommend Atomic Pink if you don't mind having something that's very long-lasting.
    If you want less commitment, I'd go with Cupcake Pink.

    Thx for your advice and comments. I'm gonna ask my boyfriend to take a pic of the colour this afternoon, if he succeeds, I'll put new pics.
    So, I think I'm going to go for Special Effects Atomic Pink. Will choose today and let you know

    I'll probably go for Cupcake Pink finally coz my boyfriend prefers it ^^ Is it long-lasting?
    I played with the various possibilities of my camera and took this pic which is more or less representative of the colour:



    Some of the front streaks have already gone orangey so it's close to the real colour

    Cupcake Pink has decent staying power but Atomic Pink is very strong, to the point where it's impossible to completely bleach out of your hair.
