The blending looks basically non-existent, and super splotchy. Is this a result of too much water on the brush, and too much paint too? I was looking to create a glaze by thinning the paint super far down, and testing it on my nail before the model, but I think I must have left too much paint in the mix and the brush might've been too wet.

I did block out some shapes! But I'm sure I also freeballed areas of it, too - and my stage 3 is a bit smaller, and there's no real stage 4 in my process. I could certainly do a better job, I think I'll aim to do that on the next model :) thanks for the suggestion!

I have thought about mediums too, but I want to get a better understanding of how glazes work and I feel like I should be able to do it with water before spending more money!

Ahh yeah, I've seen those sort of overall ink washes and glazes before just to tie the colours together and smooth bits out. Interesting idea, I'll look into it. Thanks for the tips 👍
