I achieved the result above following the next steps:
1. paint the entire nail with the polish of your choice (I used China Glaze - Grape Pop), let it dry a little;
2. put a drop of another polish of your choice on a piece of paper (I used Color Club - Wild at Heart);
3. dip a little piece of a sponge (I use a kitchen sponge) in the drop of polish;
4. press the sponge gently on your nail, begin at the nail tip and sponge toward the cuticle. Stop when you covered three quarters of the nail, you want to keep a part of the base colour unsponged;
5. repeat step 2, 3 & 4 with a third polish (I used Zoya - Mimi), stop halfway the nail to keep a part of the first sponged layer visible;
6. repeat step 2, 3 & 4 with a fourth polish (I used Orly - Out Of This World), only cover the tip (one quarter) of your nail;
And you're done! The result can be a bit bumpy, so cover the nail with a thick layer of topcoat.
*of course you don't have to use so much different polishes, even with two colours you can make a nice gradient manicure, but with more colours the result will be more.. eh.. gradient :O
Thanks for watching and good luck with the sponging! :h

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I don´t seem to get this done properly and I really love the effect. Especially this one with all the purple!
You're welcome! I knew especially you would like it, all purple and stuff ;) Good luck with the sponging...
Erg mooi geworden! Die kleuren<3 Dit geeft me de motivatie om het binnenkort nog eens te proberen. Mijn eerste poging was heel vlekkerig geworden.
@Maud, dank je! Als je lakjes uit kiest die niet te ver uit elkaar liggen qua kleur kan het eigenlijk niet mislukken, succes! :)
this is so pretty:D
