When Israeli startup Nimble wanted to produce a manicure robot, close to 5,000 people rushed to support it in just three weeks. What started as a Kickstarter idea to raise US$25,000 (S$33,000) has now reached more than US$1 million in less than a month.

Whether it is the result of the pandemic where you're looking for services that don't require you to see another human being or just the inevitable future of manicures, it is one heck of a concept.
