Yes, you can fly with nail polish, subject to certain restrictions.
You are allowed to bring nail polish on a plane in both your carry-on and checked baggage. However, it's important to be aware of the quantity restrictions, especially for carry-on items, which must comply with TSA guidelines. According to FAA regulations, the capacity of each container must not exceed 0.5 kg (18 ounces) or 500 ml (17 fluid ounces). This applies to nail polish as it is considered a flammable liquid.
Key Considerations for Flying with Nail Polish
- Quantity Limits: Ensure that individual bottles of nail polish do not exceed the maximum allowed volume (500 ml or 17 fluid ounces) for both carry-on and checked bags.
- Packaging: Pack your nail polish securely to prevent leaks or breakage during transit. Consider placing each bottle in a separate zip-top bag.
- Carry-on vs. Checked Baggage: While you can bring nail polish in both, consider placing larger quantities or more valuable bottles in your carry-on to ensure they are handled with more care.
- International Travel: Regulations may vary slightly by country. Always check the specific guidelines of the airlines and airports you will be traveling through.
Tips for Packing Nail Polish
- Secure the Caps: Make sure the caps are tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
- Use Padding: Wrap each bottle individually in bubble wrap or soft clothing to prevent breakage.
- Consider a Travel Case: Invest in a nail polish travel case to keep your bottles organized and protected.
By following these guidelines, you can safely travel with your favorite nail polishes.
