Heart of the Swarm is an expansion pack, not a standalone game. You HAVE to have bought Wings of Liberty as well in order to play it.
The story of Heart of the Swarm also continues on from where it left off in Wings of Liberty, so you'll find some spoilers if you try and complete Heart of the Swarm first.
To quote the Starcraft 2 FAQ (some snips to avoid spoilers):
Heart of the Swarm is the first expansion set to Blizzard Entertainment’s sci-fi real time strategy game, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Heart of the Swarm continues the epic story from Wings of Liberty with an all-new campaign that focuses on Kerrigan. New multiplayer content will also be included in the expansion, as well as new features and upgrades to the Battle.net online platform.
So the answer, play Wings of Liberty first.
You have to play wings of liberty first unless you just want to play multiplayer only. I find Hearts of the swarm is more fun to play in multiplayer.
