What happened to my manicure?

Hello! This was my 2nd time I did my nails with dip powder and while I love the colour, I'm wondering what happened that all my nails on my non dominant hand look like this, almost like the bubbles you can get with common nail polish when you shake it before applying.

My steps where the following, I did one nail at a time except the top coat layers:

Buff nail

Primer

1st layer base coat and clear powder

2nd layer base coat and clear powder

3rd layer base coat and colour powder

4th layer base coat and colour powder

5th layer base coat and clear powder

Activator

Filing

Activator

After I did that to all my nails I put on 2 layers of top coat.

All layers were as thin as I could do them. Did I maybe file to much? I have really no idea and would love you opinions on it.

Edit: it's only on my left, non dominant hand. And please excuse the hair, my dogs shed like crazy and their hair is literally everywhere. 🙄

2nd Edit: I'm using a system called dipdrip, it's one of the few nail dip powder systems that are available in Germany.

Since I can't provide a picture of the back (it was already framed when I thought of taking a picture) you get my first go at the scene I did 3 years ago. 😜 It's all satin stitch, the outlines are stem stitch. It's 17cm x 13cm, I have really no idea why I decided for this size and not for one that would actually fit a standard frame. 😕
