Marbled Blonde

Enliven your blondes with colors inspired by the northern, leaden skies infused with hints of vibrant spice. Using ILLUMINA and INSTAMATIC color, a pale blonde is upgraded with subtle hints of frosted strawberry and apricot undertones to create a multidimensional shade. Try it out on your next blonde who wants to add a little more depth to her color.
