I am moving to another country in 2 weeks, and I am wanting to bring along about 50 bottles of polish. Any tips on safely packing polish?

Maybe get a toolbox, put a layer of bubble wrap then polish and packing peanuts

Didn't think about socks! And that is a great idea Jackie, the toolbox, but I forgot to mention that I am only taking two duffle bags and that is it. So I can't do anything too bulky.

Well you could try using packing paper rather than bubble wrap to save space :) they should be fine, are you going on an airplane?

If so, maybe check into packing them on your carry on, so you can be the one handling them

Yes ma'am :) and I thought about that, but with the rule on how many 3 oz liquids you can bring it would be tough to bring all of them.

I think you can only carry 10 bottles :S.

Is there any way you can ship it to your new address in lots of bubble wrap? You definitely won't be able to carry on 50 bottles and unless you're going to put "fragile" all over your duffle bag (and even then it'll be likely) the staff at the airport will probably break them while packing them :/

At target the sell nail pens than you just draw them on and put on top coat there probably a lot easier to pack and really cheap come on all colors

I wish I could just ship it, but I am moving to South America and it is too difficult :( And I run a nail blog, so having my polishes with me is important, I just was hoping there was a way to get them there safely :/

With a duffle that is going to be difficult. Any chance you can switch to a suitcase? Otherwise I would put them in plastic baggies and then wrap them in your clothes to protect them somewhat. Maybe put them inside of shoes? They might open your bag and search it though. I hate it when they do that, they never put everything back in the way you had it.

So I would do baggie, then roll them up inside of a piece of clothing. I can post a photo to clarify if necessary.
