Any ideas on what this purple might be?

Saw it on Tumblr and it's basically gorgeous. I just can't place it though, it seems so bright!
Also, if anyone could advise me on getting there from a faded Nuclear Red, that'd be fab ;D

I'm not sure what the purple is, but it's gorgeous! I've just gone from crazy colour's fire red to manic panics purple haze, it was ridiculously easy for some reason! It usually takes ages to get red out! I just let my hair fade as much as I could stand then within a minute of applying bleach my hair went automatically blonde! It was brilliant, although I found the pigment in manic's purple haze to be really weak and it looked nothing like I thought it would!

It looks like faded SFX Pimpin Purple to me. Definitely a pink-based purple fade. As for getting there, I agree with whorror - fade as much as possible (which shouldn't be too hard cause red fades super quick anyway!), then bleach bath any remaining red tones out. However, most purples start off quite dark (with the exception of lilacy purples, of course), so should cover over any slight red tones just fine.

I'm considering going purple and I'm wondering if I might acheive purple like this by mixing a Directions purple (plum?) with their flamingo pink.... thoughts?

I seem to remember plum being quite a cool purple and washing out to silver when I used it waaaaaay back when I was 14, so I'm thinking the bright flamingo pink would give that pinkish undertone and hopefully a result a bit like this?

I refuse to buy SFX dyes when I can get Directions mega cheap lol
