Pink Mixology

PINK is the new blonde.

February is a very PINK month with our Galentine's, our Valentine's, and our newest AF Shade, Frosé, finally hitting the stores! So we thought we'd give you a list of our favorite pink mixes and the recipes you'll need to achieve them!

Want a more coral Frosé? We got you covered! On yellow-toned blonde this mix will go rose gold like it does on @toribryanne⁠, below.

Mixes + Tips:

Bubblegum

First up is the classic baby pink mix: Arctic Mist and Virgin Pink. She's cute, she's custom and you can adjust her to accommodate several base levels. The best thing about this mix is that you can get a super light pink even if you aren't the lightest blonde. Always start with a base of Arctic Mist and add in a few drops of Virgin Pink: it's much easier to deepen a light mix than to lighten a dark one. This recipe is suggested for level 7 blonde or higher (for best results). As a general rule, the lighter your hair, the less Virgin Pink you'll need to add in to your mix.

Want a barely-there rosy hue? Try Frosé on a light, natural blonde for a non-committal pink like @blairenicoleostendorf.

Raspberry

Fresh raspberries anyone? Sterling's blue base and pastel hue act as a cool-toned diluter for the already sheer Electric Paradise. Both shades work best on platinum hair, so keep your starting hair level in mind when making this light berry shade! Always strand test to make sure your mix is right where you need it to be before applying all over!

Want a super-pigmented, bright pink? Rock out with Electric Paradise and Virgin Pink like @sourapplecider⁠ below! She used Sterling and Girls Night for the silver side!

Dusty Rose

Dusty Rose is anything but old school. Just a few drops of Ritual added into a base of Arctic Mist Diluter can get you the faintest, smokiest steel-pink. Be advised: she shows up best on platinum hair!

Hot Pink

Come on Barbie, let's go party! A bit of our pink-based red (Wrath) added into Frosé makes the most vivid, hot pink we've seen! Can you believe?! We love a retro Gwen Stefani pink for festival season. Added bonus? Wrath helps pump up the pigment on Frosé which means its accessible to the less-than-platinum blonde babe out there.

But wait! There's more...

Looking for Rose Gold? @aennacole (pictured below) created this deep rose gold using Virgin Pink, Arctic Mist and Electric Paradise. Get our classic RG mix here.
