might soon be a thing of the past,
if more data can be added to this NFC
chip, the chip is cleverly put on the
client’s fingernails and turning them into business cards, at the moment using the user’s
social media profiles and their websites, to their contact details and phone number which can also be installed on the chip, 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.”
the hope is that
technology will advance to a point where Smart Nails can be used to pay for
bills or share menus. “We install
the information that you want. Like your name, your mobile number, your social
media accounts, websites as well,” Makaren boasts
in an Instagram post. “I always forget my business cards, you will not
forget your fingernail.”
the microchip is a ‘passive device’, which means its data can only be read when in close proximity (under an inch) to NFC-compatible gadgets like smartphones, Nour
Makarem claims that her salon has performed over 500 Smart Nail procedures so
far, the beauty salon in Dubai charges 250 Dhs at today's rate £29.63 or $68.06, what a great way to not have to keep a wallet of credit cards with you all of the time.
