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’m super exciting to introduce you this new section: Trendy 30th. Basically, every 30th of every month (except February, obviously), I’m going to take a piece of the season that really impacts me to make an inspired design; it’s going to be quite a fun challenge.
For this first Trendy 30th the inspiration came from this amazing H&M necklace (I saw it on it’s Instagram), I really love the mix of colors and the metallic texture (for which a matte top coat is perfect). The tutorial is longer by I promise it will be worth it.
Thanks for reading.

1. Use a base coat.
2. Apply one or two coats of black polish.
3. First Silver: Use a brush to make a chevron shape on the top of one of your nails.
4. Second Silver: In a different nail make another chevron shape but this time in the middle of the nail.
5. Third Silver: Get back to the first nail and, again, make a chevron shape but very close to the base of your nail (leaving some kind of a black triangle at the base).
6. First Gold: In the same nail make the silhouette of a rhombus right in the middle, only paint the outer shape.
7. Sencond Gold: In the top of the second nail make a chevron shape.
8. To create the metallic effect apply a matte top coat.
9. Finally, remove all the imperfections with a brush or a cotton swap.
Here’s the necklace
