Ayu's nailist AIKO posts her ViVi 04/2012 nails on her ameblo

[truehappiness]

I think Mayayu's style is very much like Bancho's. Very clean and tends to be super glossy. These are more matte but I don't think AIKO normally does her nails like this. It's possible that they're purposely like this for the shoot. The bad lighting and somewhat low quality photos also don't help very much, haha.

I believe they are still friends since Bancho occasionally goes to Ayu lives/events and they go to parties together. We just don't see them all the time like before since Bancho isn't Ayu's personal nailist anymore.
