Which of the following supplies is NOT recommended for a UV gel nail service?

Sable brush
UV lamp
Gel polish
Nail file

The correct answer is: Sable brush

In a UV gel nail service, using a sable brush is not recommended because it is typically associated with traditional acrylic applications or for detailed nail art, rather than the application of UV gel. A sable brush is soft and fine-tipped, making it unsuitable for the thicker consistency of gel products, which require different application tools. In contrast, the other supplies listed are essential for a successful UV gel application. A UV lamp is crucial as it cures the gel, hardening it to provide durability to the nails. Gel polish is specifically formulated for UV curing, making it the right choice for creating a long-lasting finish. A nail file is necessary for shaping and preparing the natural nails or adding finish to the gel once it has been applied. Thus, the choice of a sable brush distinguishes itself by not being a standard or recommended tool for this specific nail service.
