I would appreciate any advice on my color debate.
questions...
1.) would highlights of this color be flattering to my base color and to my skin color.
2.) Would this be achievable using Elumen.
3.) Would this look natural enough to allow it to grow out (ie not horrid looking) if I wore my hair in a lazy wrap bun or hedi braids all the time
4.) Any link to a pic that might be a better shade for me please share:)
Details
I have tried Lush Cacca Rouge (It did not linger long and is too messy) and I received the most compliments of my adult life. So I have decided to go red.
I would like to find a warm natural looking red. My hair is hair colored hair/tawny with red undertones. Pics are in my album.

I also dearly love UltraBella's hair color.
I don't want orange or too dark auburn because that would probably wash me out.
My previous experiences have been with Aveda Golden blonde highlights in 2006 and reddish brown highlights in 2008.
The appointment is in 2 weeks at my local beauty school for highlights-foil method. They use Goldwell Elumen (non oxidative) colors. I know that this product line cannot lift to a lighter color from haunting Rini's adventures and reading beauty blogs.
I am nearing waist and a salon would charge almost $200 if I went in my town.
If it is a disaster I have a hair cut picked out. I can wear a wig and a scrub cap at work. And many hair toys will go on the swap board.:)
Thanks so much for any advice.
