I paint my nails one colour let it dry completely then use a make up sponge to dab on the second colour! Finish with a top coat! You can do it with glitter polishes as well!
Been having luck with a black base and adding a sheer color over it with a sponge applicator. I'd post a pic but I must have deleted them off my phone :(
You can use different shades of the same color if you're not sure where to start. Here's one I did a little bit ago. Don't mind the messy cuticles I took the pic before cleaning it up.

Purple and Orange Looks cute. It works better with the orange as the "base color"
