For a UV gel nail service, which supply is NOT recommended?

  1. Bonding agent

  2. Lint free cleaning wipe

  3. Medium grit abrasive

  4. Sable brush

The correct answer is: Sable brush

In a UV gel nail service, the sable brush is not recommended because it is typically used for acrylic application and not for gel. The process of applying UV gel nails requires a smoother application technique, and a sable brush may not achieve the desired finish or consistency needed for gel products. Bonding agents, lint-free cleaning wipes, and medium grit abrasives play important roles in the gel nail process. Bonding agents are essential for ensuring proper adhesion of the gel to the natural nail. Lint-free wipes are used for cleaning the nail surface without leaving behind fibers that can interfere with the gel finish. Medium grit abrasives are helpful for shaping and smoothing the nail but need to be used carefully to avoid damaging the natural nail. Using a tool that is not suited for the type of product being applied can lead to an uneven application and potentially compromise the overall quality of the nail service. This understanding highlights the importance of using specialized tools designed for specific nail enhancement techniques.
