Has anyone tried to dye their hair with gel food coloring?

I have platinum blonde hair and I've been using Manic Panic and Special Effects hair dyes, but I just moved to the Philippines and they don't sell them here, I've seen online stores but they sell them for 3x the price.
I'm down to my last 4 bottles of Manic Panic and I'm not paying 50 dollars for shipping from the states.

I know it's safe, at least safer than most permanent dyes, I found vegan gel food coloring that's vegetable glycerine based (which is the base for soap and some conditioners)
but I wanna know the outcome and how vibrant it can be
and more importantly, if it can permanently stain your hair.

I tried liquid food coloring, but it wasn't vibrant at all and washed out in 2 washes. But seeing as Gel food coloring is much more concentrated and has more of a vibrant color, it makes me wonder.

Not me, but it's the kind of vibrancy I opt for, at least for the first few days.
