- Dab the sponge onto your nails, starting at the cuticle and working your way to the tip, to create a blended gradient. Repeat for desired color intensity.

Expert Tip
Dampening the makeup sponge slightly before applying the polish will help create a smoother gradient and prevent the sponge from absorbing too much polish. Ensure you lightly dab for the best photo-real effect.
