Atomic Turquoise

In all the craziness of this past weekend, I almost forgot to post about my new hair color(s). Here are the two Manic Panic Colors I chose to use:

I had lightened the crown of my head and fringe area where I wanted the Turquoise to go. After I washed the lightener out and dried my hair, I then applied the turquiose to the lightened area.

I sectioned off all my hair- I did this myself only because I am too impatient and I wanted to change the hair color already! hahaha

Here you can see where I lightened it.

Next, I applied the Raven over the red, and since this is a semi permanent, it is more like a glaze over the red and the affect is pretty cool. It looks black but in the sun is a deep black-red. It reminds me of a bird feather! Like an exotic blackish red feather.

I also freshened up the shaved side and Voila! Done! I got tired of the red since I had it for 6 months and wanted to go back to darker colors now that fall is kickin in. How do you like it?

And yes these are 3D glasses with the lens punched out! I dont know why but I love wearing them- there goofy and funny and add some spunk. I know I am a nerd hahahahah

How do you like it? I hope that this inspires you to experiment on colors too! I would love to see them if you could send them to me! cecilia@sweetsurrenderart.com

MANIC Panic

I have been using MANIC PANIC hair colors for the past 6 months. and I LOVE IT! I have been coloring my hair red for a couple months now, in fact it is AMPLIFIED Manic Panic in Vampire Red.

Here is my red hair journey- hahahah

It started out in small sections until I ended up opting for my whole head being this vibrant Vampire Red!

Red has been a big hit this summer season and even going into the fall. I love this red because it really brightened up my face and definetly matched my personality.

Check out MANIC PANIC at their website and see their journey that started Thirty Years ago!

Here are some of my favorite colors that I cant wait to try out!

They even have wigs for sale too! All wigs are about $20- so not bad of a deal if I say so myself!

I am getting rid of the red, and going to be doing something different, so stay tuned to see what I do next to my hair!

I hope this inspired you to go red, or any other color of the rainbow! What color is your hair? or what color are you dying to use????

“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"”- John Mayer
