Looking at it more I think the ghosting is what you are experiencing. I don't think you ruined it, just have to get the nail polish haze off.
Don't feel bad. You want to hear ruined? Check this out.....
A friend of mine just recently got a Les Baer custom 1911 that cost $1900. The gun had the ambi safety on it when he got it so he ordered and installed a single. Well the ambi ever so slightly rubbed the finish on the right side of the gun so he was going to touch up the finish. He got up from his bench for a minute and came back to get started. Somehow he grabbed the blueing remover instead of the degreaser and wiped the whole gun down before he realized what he did.

I have not been over there to see how bad it is and he hasn't sent me a pic.
I offered him $300 for it but he turned it down. lmao
