Really, any colour will do.
Apply 2-3 coats for to achieve opacity.

First Layer of Glitter
After your base colour has dried, carefully paint your chunky clear glitter from the base of your nails (cuticle area) upward. Paint 2/3 of the nail, leaving the tip exposed.
Sponging
Apply a drop or two of your silver glitter polish to the tip of your cosmetic sponge
Sponged
Apply silver polish on the sponge to the tip of your nail, slightly overlapping the chunky glitter.
More Layers?
At this point, I sponged another layer of black polish to the tips. Apply a clear topcoat to protect your manicure!
