Just as kids chase ice cream trucks, women in San Francisco will be doing the same after the cute pink mobile nail salon 'La Lacquerie' that lives inside of a 1960s Airstream Trailer. La Lacquerie was founded by Susan Aflak when she opted to leave her finance job and decided to cater to time-pressed professional women in the area.

Companies can book appointments with La Lacquerie and the manicure mobile will drive right up and park outside their office building. The [salon-quality manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-nail-care) include base coats, top coats and pedicures with top nail polish brands like [Essie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-studio) and [OPI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-and-wingstop). Treatments range in price from $16 to about $45, but if you've got a nail emergency, it's nice to know that La Lacquerie is making its rounds.
