Crafted from the tail of the kolinsky, sable brushes are essential for creating elaborate nail designs. A kolinsky is a species of what animal?

A kolinsky sable-hair brush is used for various forms of fine art, including nail design. The hair for the brush is gathered from the tail of the kolinsky, a species of weasel. Although most brushes contain a 60/40 male to female hair ratio, the more male hair, the better quality the brush.
