Natural
I'm now coming to the party makes more sense, because the person you're informing is already at the party.
If the person was not at the party then you could have used "I'm now going to the party"

@lilyquelle Thank you so much.
I wonder if it's possible to use "going" if there are so many people at the party and the speaker might not talk to the hearer there.
