I Tried. [SEP] We were planning to use these for gradient nail art.  I've used many other brands before and had great results.  I thought this would be a good value.  It wasn't.  The sponge part fell apart and left bits of sponge in the nail polish.  Not good quality.<br /><br />Update:  Since these were no good for nail art, I decided to try them for putting on foundation.  Same problem.  They seemed to fall apart almost immediately and left bits on my face.  Not a good look.
