Hi I used Feria Beach Blonde to dye my light brown/dirty blonde hair. However, it came out really patchy, with only some areas--the ones I applied correctly--the white-blonde colour I wanted, the other ones were either my natural hair color or a more orangey color. I don't think I applied it very good so that's why I got patchiness.
So can I just buy more of that same colour and redye my hair?

On a sidenote, the applicator foamed up way too much, to the point if I opened the bottle cap it would rush out. Is this because I shook it a lot or what?

If your plan is to dye the whole hair again (even over the highlights) then choose a warm color. If you go for cool, then your highlights will turn out greenish (I speak from experience). Also, look for a semi-permanent or demi-permanent dye matching the color you want. Since you no longer need to lift color, the semi or demi will only deposit color, thus correcting the color of your hair without damaging it much. Natural Match from L'Oreal is an example. Hope this helps.

Thank you arcanjo.. I didn't know that about the cool colors on dyed hair. I appreciate that so much! SO I gues I can't use ash blonde then.

You could use ash blonde, but you'd have to avoid all the highlighted area of your hair. Another option is to buy a warm colored filler (like red, or orange) and put it on your highlights before dying your entire hair an ash color. This was something I read here on the forum and I haven't had any personal experience with that, so if you do opt to try this do a patch test first. I believe you can find the filler at Sally's.

Thanks arcanjo that actually sounds like a great idea. I am having some trouble with kind orangey or golden, darker strands while other parts of my hair is platinum blond...I think it's from the Feria I applied unevenly that I used before doing this bleaching. I guess I could add the filler to those strands and then bleach again.
