Home colour over highlights

I have had a professional semi-permanent colour used on my highlights before with no problem other than it washes out within a month. Now I can't afford to get my colour done professionally and really want to cover the bleached out mess that are my highlights.
Would a home colour turn my hair funny colours or would it be OK? I know I need to do a strand test I'm just scared of it going green (that happened when I put home brown dye over Sun-In bleach). Should I save up to get it done professionally?

Fat does not make you fat. It's actually pretty important.

i did this several years ago with pretty good results. First, I decided which brand I wanted to use, then called their helpline. The rep gave me a combination of colors to use, maybe half and half of two colors, so that my hair didn't turn green. Yes, she actually said that! I don't remember the exact colors (or the brand for that matter, sorry) but it did come out a bit on the red side. More red than I prefer, but much better than green. I called again the next month and was advised what combo to use to go more brown.
HTH!

With my own hair, I know that if I use an ash brown over the top of highlights then the color is going to be more greyish looking. If I use a golden brown then the highlighted pieces will have more of a red hue to them. I typically go with a neutral brown so that I don't have that ashen look or the red look, it's more of just a regular brown color, which is what I'm looking for. I hope that helps! :-)
