What I've heard is that you should saturate the sponge with some water, just so it won't absorb too much of the polish. Then try applying a few coats and it should be ok.

When I do ombré nails I dip a cheap eyeshadow applicator in the polish.

First paint your nails 2 coats of white nail polish, let them dry. Then take a makeup sponge (the largest end) and layer 3-4 colors of nail polish on it. Sponge on your nails. (Try to keep the sponge in one place or else the colors will blend and mess up) let the polish dry and apply topcoat. Also you can try looking on YouTube, lots of great tutorials on there!! Hope this helps! :)
