The coolest new way to sponge your nails is to apply the color to a make-up wedge, then press it firmly against each nail. This is great for keeping each color in the right place if you want an ombre look instead of a mish mash of random colors all over your nails. Need some inspiration? Here's all the motivation you need to create a fabulous sponged nail art design on your own nails.
