I wish I had tried this method earlier, many dollars ago, but at least I've realized it now. <br /><br />I agree with you: nickel azo yellow and phthalo blue/green shade are crucial. But when it comes to white, brown, yellow ochre, etc. -- the "supporting cast" of colors -- might as well use the cheap stuff.<br /><br />Thank you for writing.Catherine Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436800214622635920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582470877898434732.post-77520479027218127022009-07-18T12:06:07.628-07:002009-07-18T12:06:07.628-07:00What a great post Catherine!

Like you said, the colours are fabulous and the staining and translucency cannot be beat. <br /><br />I have also found that L'Oreal hair dye bottles are great for pouring without getting blobs where they aren't wanted. <br /><br />Azo yellow and Phthalo Blue (green shade) are must haves for me. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experience with your fans - especially novices like me appreciate it. <br /><br />SherrillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
