Oops, I'm a mermaid

Oh, that's lovely!

oh wow!!

so pretty!

Lovely 🙂

Thanks all, I'm really pleased with how it turned out! 🙂

Rij, I am loving that green you have in your userpic, what is it?

Gorgeous!

Love this, it's stunning! I really wish I suited pastels better... because I love the look of it, just not on me.  😉

Cupcake - I know exactly what you mean! I absolutely adore how pastels look on other people, but I know from experience that darker colours and jewel tones suit me better!  And Nova - I LOVE this colour on you!  It looks so gorgeous!

Oh its gorgeous 🙂

Thank you all, you're all so sweet! 🙂

And Cupcake and Mindi, I see your point, although I do think pastels are an acquired taste. 😉 I naturally have dark hair so when I first started dying my hair unnatural colors I stuck to darker shades ( Deep Purple and Blue Velvet were my first successful attempt ), up until about 4 years ago when I decided I HAD to have pastel pink hair. And it really worked for me, most people said it looked better on me than my natural dark brown. It did take a bit of getting used to though, and roots are a right pain to keep up with, but it's so worth it!

I guess it also depends on what style you identify with, I feel like I can pull off a lot of colors, and I really don't mean that in an arrogant way just that I'm kind of a style chameleon so I feel like I'm being myself with most hair colors, if that makes sense? 🙂

Hahaha!  It's definitely not lack of trying lighter colours for me!  I've been dyeing my hair unnatural colours for 20 years now!  I've never done pastels, mostly because my hair doesn't bleach easily and I can't get a pale enough colour for the base, but I have been platinum blonde, and it doesn't suit me at all.  Darker colours are much better on me!  But I do love the pastels on you, and do sometimes wish I could get my own hair light enough to give pastels a go properly!

Haha I wasn't trying to convince you or anything, you really do look like you were made to have darker hair, that black looks gorgeous on you. 🙂

Although I do find blonde is different, I look really weird as a blonde, definitely can NOT pull that off! Although weirdly enough, silvery white looked really good one me. Like as a blonde all I can see is, Oh my god seriously dark eyebrows, I don't see that with pastels or silvery white, it kinda works.

I don't know, maybe it's an unnatural color thing, I really do think that most people suit all unnatural colors, they're generally easier to pull off because you know, no one's gonna assume you were born with green hair or something. 😉

Awww! thank you! 
I have tried to get to silver (mostly because my roots come in around 25-30% grey now, and I thought if I could get to silver I could go white gracefully!), but it just didn't work.  I couldn't get a light enough base without destroying my hair, so I chose the safe and less damaging option of black!  I figure when the white roots totally take over, I'll just rock a white to black dip-dye look! 

But that's enough about me, I don't want to take over your thread!  And you do seem to suit the pastels beautifully!  😀

Nova, it's fun to know you're naturally dark haired.  I would have never guessed because the pastels look completely natural on you!  🙂

For me, I feel like pastels look very unnatural on me - just wrong I guess (which is really funny considering I like unnatural colours, LOL!!!).  I'm in the camp of feeling like the jewel tones and darker colours suit me best.  It's not for a lack of trying!  I was a pale shade of pink for a while this summer, but I had a black under layer.  That seemed to be okay and I did get a lot of compliments on it.  Then I was mint green after using a colour remover on turquoise and I really hated it on me.  😛
