But with the time the shape started to spread and even when i tryed to keep it on the end looks like that



My question is what i did wrong and if thers is a way to avoid this?

Unfortunately the resin will spread and blend like that.  The only way round it is in essence to let the resin begin to cure before you mix the colours.  It definitely needs experimentation but you are looking to catch the resin as the viscosity begins to increase so you can create your swirls without them moving too much.  Leave it too late and you won't be able to mix it as you want, too soon and it will blend too much.
