For a light purple you need it lighter. for bright purple though I put a fuscia color on first then added the purple a day later :) my hair was darker/brassier than yours too.

Definitely has to be lighter. It needs to be almost white to get it to lilac.

That bottom layer of your hair looks like it's light enough, though.

You can add it, but all it will really do is tone out the yellowness, depending on what color you use. What I like to do is buy a really pigmented permanent purple color and dilute it with hair conditioner. Instead of already buying a "lavender" or "lilac" color...those don't tend to have the same pigment the permanent colors do

Absolutely do what Gen S. said! get a violet color and dilute it with conditioner so you actually get some color :)

Well the reason why I bought the lilac was to have my hair lilac for the weekend then when it washes out I know it's going to be a white/light blonde and that's fine with me cus o want it like that for work on Monday lol soooooooo nobody thinks it'll work? I should just bleach it again?

Definitely bleach It again girl, I can't tell the real colour of it because it's wet? But one more bleach and it should come out a more yellow toned brassy colour instead of a dark orange colour. As for toning what I'd suggest is after bleaching again leave a toning shampoo on dry hair for about an hour. :)

Def bleach again and avoid the areas that are super light. You can cover them in conditioner to prevent saturation. Good luck!!

Give it a break for as long as you can. use deep conditioners, hair masques and maybe a reconstruct or as well. the color will take better to healthier hair :) good luck! can't wait to see the finished product.
