You are certainly most welcome and I do wish you good luck. Am so very glad you found a temporary color to help get you through.

As for what's next... The blonde brassy color you're are seeing is where the bleach wasn't left on long enough to "lift" out the last of the red tones. (something Kidman's stylist should know and yet it amazes me that she does her hair like that with her skin tone) When having to lighten more than two shades, bleach needs to be used to lighten and remove certain tones to what usually is much lighter than desired. However, a toner is used all over the head to put back in the right color deposits. In your case, toned back down to probably a medium blonde color?

Toning or just general coloring needs peroxide to get the hair to open up to deposit the color. So therefore, you need to wait a few weeks to let your hair close back up where it has been opened up twice (maybe three times..not knowing what you went through) Trying to correct it now would only make it worse, if any of this makes sense to you.

When the hair closes back up again in a couple weeks, you can go back and have your stylist (or another if you can get the coloring info) ****yze your options. And tell them to call the color hotline for that manufacturer. There's no shame in that at all!
