A 1963 Aloha camper trailer is now a nail art trailer, allowing for one client at a time, ensuring privacy, and of course, no walk-ins.  

Rathert epitomized Portland on my nails, complete with a matte top coat. Most of her clients opt for customized gel-polish designs like this.

Don’t let the size fool you ­— the trailer fits a nail polish wall inside. Rathert also uses gel-polish lines.

Because space is limited, Rathert’s manicure table is the fold-out table that came with the trailer. The marble finish on the table is so nice, she uses it as a background in all her nail photos.

Rathert decorated the interior of the trailer with fun vintage finds and contemporary art elements to keep the 1960s vibe.
