I have a very glamourous and rather gorgeous French client who brought me a sample of Dior silver nailpolish and asked me to match her set of dining chairs to the colour. Here's one of them. I told her I was worried the chairs would look rather like skinny leopards as they are slim in the Regency style, but as my client looks slightly feline herself, she didn't mind. This effect is silver powder in solution on a black base. I can't say exactly how I did it, it's got to stay a one-off for my client, but here's a picture.
