The colour faded out to quickly even when dying blonde hair, probably not worth the price if its not going to stay in long at all. Other than that the colours are true and vibrant and do look very good when dyed over blonde.

These bright, fun colours work best on blonde hair, and really hold well. They set the bar for great bright hair dyes, however I do find it hard to justify the price when you can get Paintbox which works just as well, for half the price. If the price doesn't bother you, however, Manic Panic has a great range of colours and really looks fantastic and lasts a great amount of time.
Tips: If you don't want to spend the extra cash on a Pastel-izer, mix the colour with a white conditioner and it has the same effect - it makes the dye a gorgeous pastel colour and you save a huge amount of money.
I bought the pink and omg love! I done it over top white blonde and it came out perfect only this is that it is hard to get out as in it does fade out but you dying over it lighter may take a couple of times to get all the pinkiness out
I was recomended this brand by a friend and I can see why. After two months though my tips have faded, the base still holds the same vibrant color it did since I first dyed my hair. It's easy to use, comes in heaps of colors and is vegan.
Tips: Use the Manic Panic lightening fast Bleach as well, for best results google around to see what others recommend. Use cool water when you wash your hair to ensure it doesn't fade as fast.
I've only used this in pink but I loved the colours. The only down side for me was that my hair had to be bleached nearly white for the pink to stick on. It's also very easy to make pastel colours with the manic panic classic. However, mixing it to a pastel colour will make it fade faster. My friend used the blue one and it just looked amazing!
Tips: For pastel colours mix in with a bit of conditioner.
Manic panic is amazing. I've been using it for 5 years now and dont think I'll change brands. The colour are vibrant, and its ridiculously easy to use.
Tips: Vasaline your ears and face before you apply the dye as it can stain skin pretty bad. I've found keeping ice water handy is a good incase you do get any on your skin. Also try mixing a bit of your dye with conditioner and apply it with gloves, it helps keep your colour bright as it fades with each wash.
Sadly the white toner did nothing in my hair, I would not recommend this one but i hear the brights are really good.
I used the violet purple colour on my hair which was previously blonde obmre, hoping for a purple ombre look instead. Initially the colour was amazing! So much brighter than I'd hoped for. The only downside was that the colour came off onto everything and my hair felt quite chalky. I had purple hands for 2 weeks! It didn't wash very well but that is to be expected being a semi I guess. I would use this again if I wanted a good look for the weekend but to maintain it is too much work and too expensive.
I colour my hair all the time with manic panic. I have done so many different colors and I love them all. The lighter colors like cotton candy don't really work in my hair as I have dark brown hair naturally and haven't been able to bleach it blonde enough for those colors to take. But all the rest are awesome, they are so bright and make my hair feel so nice. They last a few months in my hair with only washing my hair every 2nd/3rd day.
Tips: Wash your hair in cold water and put a little bit of colour with conditioner when washing your hair, refreshes the colour a bit.
I used this in pink, and it lasted quite well (about a month). The color didn't stain the sink/bathtub quickly so it's really easy to apply, and it didn't stain my towel either. It's definitely a good product to try colors before getting it done more permanently! That said, if you're looking for a color that's lighter than the colors available and don't want to try mix conditioner in it, it'll be easier to just go to a salon.
