Woah! You really achieved that shiny look :D
Depending on your preference you could somewhat blend or smooth out the darker tones, somewhat like the reference :)
Also make the dark areas more round :0 in the original they go all the way like this while slowly lightening and blending into the lighter color

Ah thats where i started too :)
Ibis has a smudge tool which might to the trick
Or you could make use of an airbrush :o

block in the color, set your eraser to an airbrush, erase the extra area leaving a smooth transition :)
