Need help with my glazing, I'm at a loss!

Hi all, figured I'd come for help here as the quality on here is
much higher than myself.
I'm trying to learn glazing, I've followed tutorials on YouTube
and pdf files of it, and I just can't seem to work out where
I'm.going wrong with it, the end result looks god awful and I'm
at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.
I've tried thinning my paints with Lahmian medium, Vallejo
glaze medium and water. I've followed the guides to how thin the
paint should be (paper towel trick, etc).
I'm blocking in my highlights with a base of Kantor Blue, and
highlights of Teclis Blue, with a mid tone of the two mixed, the
base to midtone glaze seems to work but when I start glazing the
highlights transition, it starts to look like crap. Tried less
thinned, and thinner paints and still can't get it to work.
Attached some pics of the abominations here

Are you glazing with a Lm/paint mix? I'd maybe not glaze to your
highlight. Glaze between your kantor and mid tone, then layer
and feather up to your highlight. Glazes are more for dragging
from light to dark into your shadows, not taking up a Highlight.
