The painting is not so precise, and the sparkles look like the ones you can find in an "Artistic Set" for children...
Not convinced

agreed!

Just recently, AIKO from esNAIL started doing her nails instead of Minazo. Her costume designer is also no longer working for her, it seems. (the one who did all the outfits in that ViVi with the BIG outfits)

I wonder if they're still friends with Bancho Oo

Bancho is the best, when I found about Ayu in 2001 and saw her nails I was just in !

but as far as I know, Bancho now has a kind of her own Nail school or academy (did I read about it in NAIList japanese mags or of the kind? some mags were even advertising it) kinda sad cuz I don't like new nails as much as the older ones, lol. they were just much more gorgeous
