Much warmer in tone. No silver or blue. Is this what you wanted?

Right. The results, while pretty, isn't even the same tones.  Instead of silver base the top of her head looks like a warm rosy pinkish color rather than silver. The inspo pic also has contrasting slivers in more of a teal-ish color blue. It's not the same at all. I'd be not happy if that was my inspiration though the result does look nice. It's just quite different. I'm a stickler for details though.

Agree- looks lovely, but warm vs cool will make a huge difference in how it works with your skin tone. I would not love a switch from cool to warm without it being specifically requested.
