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.
