Pro Tips
Take your time with the gradient to ensure a smooth transition between colors.
Use thin layers to prevent bubbling and uneven texture.
Practice the sponge technique on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
If you make a mistake, use a small brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean up edges.
