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.
For to the second “Trendy 30th” I decided to take inspiration from one of my favorite pieces of Perinola, its Celis jacket form “Luna en Ceylon” Collection. I absolutely love it, but I have to admit that replicating the design on my nails was a big challenge, because the jacket has many tones of purple in a pattern with a lot of detail.
At first it wasn’t easy to find the right technique to make the naliart look good, and not like a big stain of purple. Despite I’m just an amateur that enjoy all the process, the final result really made me happy.
I hope you like it as much as I do and thanks for all the support.

1. First, as always, a base coat.
2. Apply one coat of white polish as base.
3. The next steps are basically about to make irregular brush strokes following the jacket’s pattern.
4. Every single nail will have a different part of jacket’s pattern.
5. The key is trying to mix tones of purple, and not being too careful.
6. Before you notice it, everything will have take form.
7. Remove imperfections with a brush or cotton swap.
8. Then, just apply a top coat to make shine the design.
