Yes that's correct...or..you can paint the backs black or some other colour ...allow to dry..then with a needle, scratch the back like sun rays around the iris and then paint with gold or silver or other colour.  Then seal with varnish. That's a nice effect too.
I have done it the other way around too....painted a colour onto the backs ...dried it...scratched the back.  Then painted black. Works really well.
Some of the pearly nail polishes work very well for this

Thankyou Jenny
Can you use actual glitter instead of the Nail Varnish Glitters?
