IF you're getting ready to jet off on your hols, you may be wondering what you're allowed to bring with you in your hand luggage.

Here's what the rules are on liquids, including nail polish and nail clippers.

There are various rules in place about what you can bring with you when boarding an plane for your next trip.

This applies to various items including ecigs and cigarettes and food.

There are also limits on the amount of liquid you're able to have in your hand luggage - including nail polish.

It's therefore advised that you pack liquids in your hold baggage if possible.

According to the UK Government website the rules on liquid cover:

It also includes toiletries and cosmetics, including creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara and lip gloss.

However, liquids can be taken on board subject to the following requirements:

Make sure you check with your carrier before your flight to check what you can take, even if you think it will be within the rules to avoid disappointment.

Nail clippers and nail files are allowed and can be kept in your hand-luggage.

However, if you prefer to use scissors to cut your nails, it must have a blades no longer than 6cm to be carried on.

Be advised that airport security staff won't let anything through that they consider to be dangerous.

This applies to items that are normally allowed in hand luggage.

Nail polish remover should be covered by the same rules on liquid where carry-on luggage is concerned.

As long as you don't have more than 100ml of liquid with you and it adheres to the rest of the rules, people are allowed to have nail polish remover with them.

However, it's better to be safe than sorry, so try to limit the liquids you take onboard with you.
