For anyone who loves looking at Ayu's nails, her nailist has posted images of the nails she did for this shoot!

It seems that minazo no longer does Ayu's nails. I'm not sure what happened but he hasn't been doing much related to Ayu lately. Is he still even working for her?

Here are the images if you wanna see them asap!

VERY stylish.

thanks for sharing!
I wonder how lips made.. is it drawing or stamp

They are pretty cute. Not a big fan of the glitterglue, but it's not really bothering.

Soooo adorable! :heart

I don't like this shape, but the design is nice ;)

I thought ayu still works with Bancho :laugh when did they stop working together? they seemed to be close friends too.

lol it looks like someone painted them with gouache xD it's probably acrylic... i know matt is knda in fashion now, but they look kinda megh~ cheeeesyyyyy

^agree xD
Thanks for the info

THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this!!
Definitely not my style, but i'm happy it's a girl doing Ayu's nails again -i know it's silly girl power- :evillaugh

i say drawing~

amazing! :luv2

I like the last set most!

I wonder what the actual nail is made up of is not like those false nails.
I want to do the cheetah ones >.<

OMG! So cool!! I love them!!! Especially the ones with leopard spots <3

It all look hand painted, probably with a very tiny brush. Takes skills!

i like the last two the most!

it actually looks like a regular white false nails I always buy, just painted with some crap...

they're like, acrylic/plastic nails that you can glue onto the real nail. it's alot easier than doing nail art on someone's hand. they aren't practical for daily use and are mainly only used for photoshoots and stuff. :D the paint is either nail polish and/or acrylic paint.

AIKO is very talented so I don't mind! She used to do Mika Nakashima's nails too ♥

Not too fond of the shape but love the designs! Always nice to see :D

loooving the americana designs :heart
old school ayuuu

they're really cute!

They're cute and such, but i find them not as fine as the ones made by artcika or Mayayu.
The painting is not so precise, and the sparkles look like the ones you can find in an "Artistic Set" for children...
Not convinced :no
