Good for you, msbelle. "Work to rule" is one of my favorite techniques.
Yay bonus, Toddson!
meara, that's tricky. Jessica is better at blue hair than I am, but I'd say shoot for the ombre look. What's the dye brand?

I don't actually know what would work but the ombre idea sounds cool

I used arctic fox periwinkle. The last time I had blue hair I used a few different manic panic colors, and found that one faded teal while another faded pink, so I’d probably use the fades-to-pink one (“shocking blue”) if I don’t go with a purple?

Just posted a photo on my Instagram story (mearagrrl) if anyones curious of the color!

Oh, yeah, I've found Arctic Fox doesn't grab onto my hair unless it's been chemically treated to within an inch of its life (but it's so pretty & it laaaaaaaaasts). I use Splat, which tends to work well even on non-bleached hair, but I've never used their blue.
I'd say use the Manic Panic fades-to-pink one and shoot for ombre.
The actual blue part of your hair is so pretty!

Thanks, yeah, the previously pink bits came oh great, just the color I wanted. So it’s just the gray that’s annoying.

Ooh, now that I've seen the periwinkle, purple would be very nice on the roots if it works. Fade to pink blue is also intriguing.
That's why Arctic Wolf sounded vaguely familiar to me - I was confusing it with Arctic Fox!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ditto, and for the pale shades especially you're not going to get the bottle color without bleaching to platinum. (My son had neon yellow/green hair for a little while, and the pretreatment step took foreeeeever. Thank goodness he went back to hot pink.)
I generally find that any shade of bright blue + any shade of pink will blend nicely and everyone will assume you did something extremely cool on purpose.
My current shade is "random streaks of all the different blues/purples/greens I had to use up" and I looooooove it.

Good to know—I hadn’t used Arctic fox before so wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was just the color I was looking for so figured I’d give it a shot.
