Every morning, Anicet Mbida gives us the very best in terms of innovation.

Today, he makes us discover a manicure robot capable of allowing you to have impeccable nails, like at the beautician.

Your innovation of the day is timely, at a time when beauty salons are closed.

You have found a robot capable of applying varnish automatically, in less than 10 minutes.

A manicure robot.

Fashonista have dreamed of it for a long time: having impeccable nails, like at the beautician.

But when you want and by staying quietly at home.

For example by listening to Europe 1 while having breakfast.  

Well, there it is!

The first model has just been presented.

It looks like a box the size of a large dictionary.

We put our hand inside.

A camera system will identify the position of each of the nails, their shape and their curvature.

Then, he will start by applying a base, then two coats of varnish and, finally, the finishing "top coat".

So four coats, in less than ten minutes per hand.

With a flow of air to make sure everything will be perfectly dry. 

Can you use any varnish or do you need a specific one?

No, you need vials specifically designed for the machine.

As there are only about thirty shades, there will be less choice (not sure to find your favorite color).

Note also that the machine is content simply to apply conventional varnish.

No French manicure, no glitter or "nail art" designs.

The objective is above all to save time in the maintenance of your varnish on a daily basis. 

And is it expensive?

Not too much, around 350 €. It is the startup Nimble Beauty who designed this robot. It should be on the market by September. In the meantime, it is tested in several individuals to ensure that it adapts well to all morphologies and all nail shapes. It is true that the promise is rather beautiful: to have an automated manicure at home. So if the machine does anything, smears their nails, they might have a hard time selling it.
