Moving across continents with my 1300+ nail polish collection. How much you think I can get on the airplane?

Moving across continents with my 1300+ nail polish collection. How much you think I can get on the airplane?

I used to be a nail blogger/youtuber 10+ years ago, so I managed to get quite the collection. I even built myself from scratch the shelves I had them on, though I think I never shared it online (I may had, I honestly can't remember) and of course, space ran out after a couple years of blogging. A few years ago I moved from Argentina to Italy to buy a house, and my plans were to spend 6 months a year in each country, taking them little by little. Sadly, a couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and I'm bound to stay in Italy because of the treatment I need (it needs to be done every 6 weeks). I now need to move my collection to Italy, and the company that's doing my move says I can't take it on the container because they are concerned about safety.

The last 2 times I went back and forth to Italy, I was able to get around 20 or 30 nail polishes per suitcase on the plane without having any issues nor anyone asking about it. Of course I won't be taking it all together now, but I was wondering how much could I take on each suitcase, since I'm traveling with 2 people and around 4 suitcases. 50? 100 on each? I know they'll probably stop me at baggage check since I have rainbow hair and that always seem to get their alarms going, but still, could they make me get rid of it if it's too much? How much is too much? It's clearly not for selling, since most of them are expired/dry and there's almost none repeated. Thank you for your help!
