Ombre nail tutorial: Easy as 1, 2, 3

What you need: 

3 polish colours in gradient shades

2-3 makeup wedges

1 topcoat

Start by painting a base coat of the lightest tone (or another light shade, if desired) on all nails.

On a makeup sponge, put a line of polish - one for each colour. 

Let the lines overlap ...

... and while the polish is still wet on the sponge, dab the sponge onto your (now-dry!) nails, blotting each nail 2-3 times for coverage.

 Re-apply polish lines to sponge as needed. 

Each sponge can do about 3 nails, so you should be able to do all ten nails with 3 sponges.

 When the gradient polish is almost dry, sweep a coat of quick-dry topcoat. 

This acts to blend the colours for a more natural look. 

Finish with 1-2 more topcoats for a glassy shine. 

Enjoy!
