It's very difficult to advise when the pictures are as far away as those.
Can you crop them are upload them again so we can see each individual practice piece please?
Regarding the wire glowing, did is form quite a big ball? If so then your wire speed may be a bit slow for the power setting you're using.

wire speed might be too low if you've got it turning in to a molten ball whilst you're welding
