A new high-tech manicure has been invented to make online payments in the place of bank cards, according to Daily Mail.

The invention from technology firm Smart Chip signifies that customers of online shops will be able to pay for products by waving their fingernails at a contactless card machine.

The report revealed that the £13 device holds the owner’s bank card details, and connects to a mobile phone app to perform payments.

Users of the manicure tech will be able to go out and do their shopping at the supermarket, and buy around at restaurants, even if they forget their wallet, phone, cash, or smartwatch.

The clever cuticle caps have been fitted to people at a pop-up salon in the Excel centre in Canning Town, east London.

To install them, the chip is glued to a customer’s desired nail and then painted over with nail polish, the Sun reports.

And if a customer already has an artificial nail fitted, they will only have to pay £9 to get the Smart Chip installed.

However, the chip demands replacing between five to seven times every year – around once every two months – depending on how long the user’s nails are.

Speaking about the phenomenal invention, Smart Chip founder, Rudolph Räber said, “Smart Chip is always with you, you may even cover it with a colour.”

Räber even made the bold claim that the technology “Can’t be stolen”, although a well-motivated criminal with a sharp knife may beg to differ, adding that “You cannot forget it at home”.

Payments with the fingernail payment chips are dealt with by Digiseq, a London-based transactions firm that has a specialism in wearable payment methods.

An invention like this was developed by tech experts and researchers to help gravitate towards a better life.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”

“President Trump has been clear that the killing of Christians in Nigeria must end,” he said.

He that the administration’s resolve on the matter should not be underestimated.

“As I stated at the outset: Do not test President Trump‘s resolved in this matter.

A video footage of the US military air strikes in Nigeria has emerged.

The video was released by the US Department of War following its air strikes against terrorists in Sokoto.

Earlier, the US secretary of War, Pete Hegseth had confirmed that military air strikes hit terrorists in Nigerians, saying it was deadly.

Later on, the US. African Command, confirmed that it conducted the attacks described as very deadly by President Donald Trump.

Trump said he was only keeping the promise he made earlier last month to strike the terrorists he believes are killing innocent Christians.

Although described as powerful and deadly, the casualty caused by the attack is yet to be released.

Explaining further, security expert, Brant Philip, said the strikes may have been launched “from the USS Paul Ignatius, using a Tomahawk missile.”

The Nigerian government through its ministry of foreign affairs has also confirmed that the strikes were successful.
