143 Banana Crepe gives you a soft coral and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Coral reads brighter in daylight than under salon lamps, so check it by the window before the second coat. DND DC lists it as an apricot pink with hints of orange.
What you get in the bottle
- Rich pigment, smooth lay-down: DND DC 143 Banana Crepe covers evenly without the streaking that thin formulas leave on the second coat.
- A three-week-plus service: up to 21 days without chipping or peeling on the published spec.
- LED or UV, whichever you run: the DC gel cures under both, so it drops into an existing station with no new lamp.
- Soak-off, not drill-off: 10 to 15 minutes in a wrap and the layers lift.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between DND DC 143 Banana Crepe in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so DND DC 143 Banana Crepe covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
Storing the bottle
Keep DND DC 143 Banana Crepe upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.
DND DC 143 Banana Crepe is stocked alongside the DND DC, DND and DIVA gel wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and the full DND gel and lacquer wall.
