Is it normal for the top layer of my teeth to turn white?

Ok, so I decided to use Colgate hydrogen peroxide and baking soda whitening toothpaste as a whitening gel. I left it on my teeth for about 30 minutes. When I took my mouth guard out, it looked like the top layer of my teeth had turned a milky white color. I have a few small chips in my front teeth and they did not turn white. Also, there was a strange line going across them too. Almost like a scratch. I'm wondering if that was my enamel, and if I did any serious damage to it, and what can I do to either revert back to the original color of my teeth or make the chipped part and the strange line/scratch white as well. I probably shouldn't have left the toothpaste on for as long as I did but I did. So is this normal? ( probably not ). And how can I fix it.

    I'm not trying to spend all that money on teeth whitening.

    I would talk to your dentist. Your dentist can professionally give you advice and whiten your teeth so you don't damage your teeth. Answer all your questions and put your mind at ease.
