Toner never seems to work on my hair to take out the brassiness... do you think this is because I have not gotten my hair light enough? Should I bleach my hair up another level and then try again?

I had the same problem and used a product called Second Nature from Clairol.  It is a Demi-color and is used for tint backs/corrective color in an Ash Blonde shade with Un-Red drops added in all from Sallys.  I concentrated on the root area as the ends were still blonde and was not brassy.  Or you could bleach up again to a lighter shade than tone.
 
Good Luck.

I'm so afraid I'll overbleach and turn my hair into something like this...  I think this is a common fear amongst us who bleach at home!

When you do Bleach all over & recondition & are about to use a toner... The roots will take a bit longer to do ! I have to remind myself that.  I am guessing that is the red-orange/goldy stage so far you have.  One of the places people reference often for how 2 is killerstrands (google if wish to) it has nice clear photos of bleach application & tips if you haven't found any on the web yet.  If you are uncomfy get an consultation with a pro.
