Residents in Dubai can now get a very different type of manicure: one that involves getting a microchip added to their nails.
Founder of Lanour Beauty Lounge, Nour Makarem, told CNN that her beauty salon developed their smart manicure as a way to support social distancing in the beauty service industry during the pandemic.
The microchips used for the "smart nails" can store names, phone numbers, social media accounts and websites. This means that clients can use their nails as digital business cards.
"I always forget my business cards, you will not forget your nail," said Makarem.
The nails connect to mobile devices using the same kind of Near Field Communication technology that is used in credit cards for contactless payments.
In a video on the salon's Instagram account, a smart phone is shown scanning a nail before the person's name and contact details then appear on the screen. In another video for CNN, Makarem uses the technology to visit the salon's website.
Makarem said that the only difficult part of developing the smart manicure was getting a microchip that was small enough to fit on a fingernail.

👉Summary
杜拜的美容沙龍發展出一款智慧型指甲護理，把名片濃縮成晶片，鑲在顧客的指甲上。手指只要靠近手機，就能掃描出各種資訊，包括姓名、電話和社群軟體帳號，成為新型態的隨身名片。這家沙龍的執行長表示：「我總是會忘記帶我的名片，但你不會忘記帶你的指甲。」這款智慧型指甲護理也有其困難的地方，微晶片的尺寸，必需小到足以放到指甲的甲片上。
