Dotted gradient in mint, teal blue and mint green

I showed you a swatch of Pistacchio yesterday and today I figured it would be nice to show the nail art I did with it. I had in mind to show the color compared to other colors, like a comparison in a nail art. I've also tried doing this concept before, that the dots disappears into the gradient but that time the result wasn't what I expected. I think the result was better this time.

The base is of cause Pistacchio and I've then made a gradient in teal blue and mint green alternating nails over the tip.

Afterwards I just made dots in the Pistacchio shade to make them blend in. And then SV on top to make everything blend in better.

I like how the different colors emphasize each other and how the color of Pistacchio is compared to teal blue and mint green. I think that Pistacchio is more to the green than to the blue, but just by little.

Polishes used:
HM - Mint Madness
Kleancolor -Pastel Teal
Isadora - Pistacchio

I also wanted to see how it would look like in matte (I figured that if I didn't like the matte look I could just put a shiny top coat on instead) but this is what happened. The polish cracked. I guess it could have something to do with that I first had the base color, the had made the gradient/nail art and then one coat of SV. When I figured it was dry I added Madly Matte from Kleancolor and matte polishes are fast drying too so I guess the combination of SV and Madly Matte made it look like this. Sad to do all this work and then being forced to remove the whole thing.

So, what did you think about the nail art? Have the matte issue happened to you some time too?
