Standard nail polish is allowed in carry-on bags when each bottle is 3.4 oz (100 mL) or less and packed with your liquids. If you’ve ever had a tiny bottle pulled aside at security, you know the stress. Nail polish feels small, but it’s still a liquid, and some formulas fall under flammable-liquid rules for
