An initial chuckle escaped her lips as her eyes surveyed ‘Chips and Strongbow’ and ‘Budget Denim’, but an agonizing awkwardness prevailed upon the realisation that her nail colour of choice was, what I had deemed, ‘Slag Red’. (Sorry Eve!!)
Since that uncomfortable debacle, however, the work has been shortlisted for the Unleashed Best in the North illustration competition, which I will shamelessly self-promote here:
