Hello hello~ wanted to give an update to my post about flying to Hong Kong and flying/Checking-in 80 bottles of nail polish for future reference to those whom need it.

Flight path: Hong Kong to Malaysia
Airline: Batik Air
Consolidation company: BuyandShip
(DO NOT use this company for nail polishes unless you are in HK. They aren't allowed to ship outside of HK if it's class 3 flammable which is what polishes are. The company was very helpful and supportive. Allowed me to pick up from warehouse in HK)

While packaging the polishes, I made sure the boxes/labels had no hazards warning. ie:
Flammable
Toxic.

This is important as if your bag gets checked, it will be confiscated. (Advice from the airline check-in counter)

Now this isn't to say you aren't able to keep certain boxes/packaging. I had gotten a couple collections from Korea and of course they were beautiful. A Google Translate of the box/text showed they didn't display any of the hazards warnings. So I just packed it up with the rest of my polishes and it was more convenient to pack. Although, I'm sure you could just take it all out, flat pack the box and pack the polishes individually while keeping the box separately, in your carry on maybe.

Based on the LAGs regulations and country local flight laws, I had no issues. Main thing to highlight from Hong Kong at least, it's a 2L limit per person. Just double check the local law from where ever you are.

No special packaging was needed, in my case I used most of the original bubble wrap and took removed some of the boxes/packing that had the aforementioned hazard labels.
Worth noting, I did line my checked bag with a layer of bubble wrap and made it so if any of them leaked, I wouldn't have ruined my baggage.

There is also another Redditor who did something similar, UK to AUS

Thank you to everyone who commented and shared their experience. Hope this can help someone else in the future.

Ps: I mainly got gel polishes, but DND did come work regular polishes. So yes, I was able to take everything back
