Wella Illumina and Instamatics

[cat42]

I tone my bleached hair with illumina 10/1 mixed with 9/60 for a ashy grey, once it is rinsed out and completely dry could I apply instamatic on top?

I keep reading there not intermixable with each other and now I cant stop worrying :L lol. But this just means dont mix the products, it will be ok to apply instamatic after illumina is washed out and dry?

I also cant decide whether to mix the instamatics with 1.9% or 4% colour touch, how vibrant do they come out?

Thanks.

There is absolutely no reason why you can't put Instamatic over the top. I did 9/43 in illumina and then overlayed pink dream Instamatic after I had rinsed. Absolutely lovely. You're the artist!!

Thanks very much thought that was the case but just wanted to check
did you use 1.9% or 4%? i

m wanting to use pink dream at the roots, fade into mauve then into ocean storm! I usually just use them conditioning dyes for a pop of colour but I just spyed instamatic when I was buying my illumina in my local capital beauty store and fancyed giving it ago!

What it means by no intermixing is that you cant mix the two colours together in the same bowl. You could do 4% in the roots to make it slightly deeper then 1.9% in the ends.

1.9% will deposit more than 4%

Yeah I was thinking to doing darker pink faded to lighter pink, but I was just going to add clear instamatic to some for the ends and use the same % will this not work better?
Think I'm gonna stick to 1.9% I don't want to wash it out and hardly be able to see it, but I don't want it bright either.

4% and 1:1

No 1.9%. As sugarplumfaery said 1.9% will deposit more than 4%.
