Comment if lack of notability is a concern, what one would need to establish an article's notability is in-depth coverage from multiple reliable third-party sources. Primary sources can be used at times, but unlike secondary sources they do not add to notability.

KeepWeak delete There doesn't seem to be a lot of reliable-source, in-depth coverage (just articles along the lines of "10 nail varnishes you should own"). It might be better to add something to
Chanel#Products or (to cover rival products)
Nail polish#Nail polish in fashion: I don't suggest merging because of the tone/quality of this article. We do have articles on makeup brands e.g. see in
Category:Personal care brands, but it's unusual to have one on a specific range or single product. But if it was re-written in a more encyclopedic style with better references, I'd say keep. --

Article has been greatly improved since I made that comment. Article now demonstrates notability, and I have changed my vote. Well done to the contributors. --

Keep Meets the GNG. I've just now added two sources which are articles entirely about this exact nail polish. There are more which I'll be adding momentarily, but this is already enough for GNG, especially given that they're from five years apart, showing continuing in-depth coverage.—

You are incredibly condescending first of all. Second, I was always told that we cannot use references that require a subscription because how else would users be able to access it? I deleted one source, not all of them. That was what the question was for. So instead of trying to belittle me, you could have just said just take a look at SOURCEACCESS. Thanks.

For the record, we can use references that require a subscription to view. If you can find an equivalent reference that doesn't require one, it's generally better because more people can view it, but there is no prohibition against using sources that you must pay to access. :-)

As I stated above that how is nail polish color notable, which by Wiki stands is questioning
WP:N. Before you edited it, it was and still is written like an advertisement and was poorly sourced. LADY LOTUS • TALK15:13, 18 April 2014 (UTC)reply
No, I do not think notability is determined through the state of the article, it's determined (among other things) on whether there is significant coverage on the subject which I didn't find any, good that you found it so easily. LADY LOTUS • TALK17:12, 18 April 2014 (UTC)reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Keep When this AFD was started the article was generally weak, particularly so on referencing,
[1] but since then it has been well referenced and written in a more objective tone. Lack of primary sources is never a problem in itself (indeed it is argued that primary sources can sometimes be problematic
[2] ) and NYT references are not precluded by being behind a paywall.
[3] I would favour merging with a broader article such as
Chanel cosmetics or
Fashion nail polish but AFD should not mandate such an editorial decision and any merge would not involve deleting the present material. In striking his remarks, Alf.laylah.wa.laylah has apologised for his unkind remarks,
[4] but at the same time he has greatly improved the article.
