A beauty salon has just launched what must be the most high-tech manicure in Dubai – the microchip manicure, according to WHAT’S ON. The Smart Nail manicure involves placing a teensy microchip on top of your fingernail, which is then covered and secured with a layer of glitter nail polish.
According to Lanour Beauty Lounge, the microchip manicure uses near-field communication (NFC), „a short-range wireless technology that makes smartphones, tablets, wearables, payment cards and other devices even smarter.”
When you tap your ‘chipped finger to a smart phone, the data is transferred within seconds. You can upload personal data to your microchip, such as your WhatsApp details, a digital business card, or your Instagram handle.
While the amount of data it can store is quite small for now, CEO Nour Nakarem hopes that the technology will advance to the point where people can pay for bills, share menus, and circulate information at the tap of a finger.
