prickvixen had tried out a bottle of Special Effects 'Blood Red', but was dissatisfied with the end effect - it's a slightly varied red, sometimes a little magenta, sometimes a little orangey, depending on the light. Not the pure red she prefers. I borrowed the remaining portion of the bottle and used it. Not only did the stuff look just like blood on the gloves, I'd swear its scent has an occasional note of that coppery taste of blood.
It won't look blazingly red on me, because it's over the varying pale magenta/blue that my hair had been. I didn't give it an especially thorough application, mostly just worrying about covering up the places that had completely faded. Most of my hair did get touched with it, but I won't be surprised to find faded purple or blue quite visible here and there after the initial rinse-off. It should be interesting.
I have refrained from quoting the lyrics of a certain Rush song. People who have more than one or two of their albums probably know which one I mean.

I've been using Fudge 'Blueberry Hill' for my purple streaks, and since the last time I used it (two years ago), they seem to have changed the formula so the color is different (dark purple instead of a shiny pink purple), and it doesn't last as long (roughly 3 washes now...) Bah.

*searches google* Hmm... even if I can't get it here, there seems to be an abundance of websites selling it.
I'll give it a try, thanks!
