Take your sponge with the nail polish and press it on to your nails until you're happy with the effect. You should be able to apply on multiple nails before having to add more polish to the sponge.

The dark blue color was too dark for me so I patted the lighter color on the sponge over it lightly to blend better.

Once dried, add a topcoat. Once that is dried, use a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover to clean the polish around your nails.

That's it! You will now have fabulous ombré nails. :)
