Can I Carry a Nail polish on a Flight in India?

In short

You can carry a nail polish in cabin baggage within limits. Nail polish is a flammable liquid, so in cabin baggage each bottle must be 100ml or less and carried in the clear bag. Larger quantities go in checked baggage. Nail-polish remover (acetone) is more restricted — keep it small and in the cabin liquids bag.
