When Ramirez was asked about the biggest summer trends she said, “I think this summer the trend is going for neon-colored nails. The aqua blue color is very fashionable in all its tones, I personally love it. Not to mention the shiny stones and accessories. For me, they never go out of style. The shape of the nails is also important for each person, one that is most comfortable for them. Personally, I love stiletto nails.”
