Using a nail sponge primarily involves applying polish to the sponge and then carefully dabbing it onto your nails to blend the colors and create effects like gradients or ombre. Be aware that small sponge pieces may transfer to the nail during application.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Apply Polish to the Sponge: Place the nail polish directly onto the nail sponge. You can use one or multiple colors for different effects.
-
Dab onto Nails: Gently dab the sponge onto your nails. The dabbing motion helps to blend the colors together, creating a smooth transition.
-
Clean Up (If Necessary): Remove any excess polish from your skin using a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
-
Top Coat: Once you have the desired effect and the polish is dry, seal the design with a top coat for a smooth and long-lasting finish.
