I’m Natalia. And this blog is my flow zone. We all have one (or more) but sometimes it’s hard to discover yours. Finding that thing/activity that has that “I don’t know what” that takes over you until you completely lose track of time and want to dedicate to it exclusively, sometimes is the result of research trial and error, a risky decision or – as it happened in my case- it’s just the result of coincidence.
This thing of being a blogger crossed my path when I least expected and, although Colorclap was born very naively, it aroused my curiosity and develops through exploration, leading me to “see” with new eyes my day by day and letting me rediscover things that I once took for obvious.
So here I am, letting myself -or at least trying- go with the flow, giving life eternal through photos and words to those moments that are worth collecting.
Yo soy Natalia. Y este blog es mi actividad flow. Todos tenemos una (0 más) pero no siempre es fácil descubrirla. Encontrar esa cosa/actividad que tiene ese “no sé qué” que logra que perdamos completamente la noción del tiempo y a la que desearíamos dedicarnos con exclusividad, a veces es producto de la búsqueda, otras del ensayo y error, inclusive del tomar riesgos o –como pasó en mi caso- sencillamente producto de la casualidad.
Esto de ser blogger se atravesó en mi camino cuando menos lo esperaba y, aunque Colorclap nació muy ingenuamente, despertó mi curiosidad y se transformó con la exploración, llevándome a “ver” con otros ojos mi día a día y permitiéndome redescubrir cosas antes daba por obvias.
Así que aquí estoy, dejándome llevar –o por lo menos intentándolo- por la vida e inmortalizando en palabras e imágenes esos momentos que valen la pena coleccionar.
I have to be honest, the animal print isn’t exactly “my thing” but after a long time I started to find it more attractive, besides, it could be a really fun way to improve your nailart abilities, so I decided to embrace the technique and make my first animal print design.
In this opportunity the inspiration came from an amazing set of Mehelenas, a Venezuelan brand that design bands with a double function: bracelets and hair ties that doesn’t damage your hair, the best part is that they come in many colors and designs, so your mani can take advantage of that, in this case I used it for my “sporty Sunday” two weeks ago.
Always look around you, the inspiration can come from anywhere.

1. You already know the first step, apply a base coat and let it dry.
2. Apply one or two coats of a brown polish in one of your nails, because I didn’t have the exact brown I was looking for, a simple mix of a dark one with orange gave me the perfect tone.
3. Apply one or two coats of a hot pink polish in three other nails.
4. With a green polish, paint the remaining nail.
5. Using a dotting pen, paint stains over the brown nail. In my mind it’s a giraffe animal print but I’m not really sure (lol).
6. Then, apply a top coat.
7. Remove all the imperfections with a brush or a cotton swap and that’s it.
