How often do you buy makeup without realizing that you may already have a dupe for it? I'm not even sure of that myself but there was a few instances where I was aware it has happened. I need to do a dupe project so I can have a better idea of how many dupes I have.
I purchased these polishes not far apart from each other. When Zoya was having their promotions, I took advantage of it and got Edyta, which I thought the color was quite beautiful because of it was multi-dimensional. In certain angle, it looks like a dark charcoal, and in others it looks like a deep green/teal with gold shimmers. Zoya nail polishes retails for $8.00
While I was scoping out for new shoes at DSW, which by all means is probably the most unlikely place to find nail polishes, I came across a brand called Anise. DSW is the only place I know that sells this unknown brand. I thought Crocodile Tears was a pretty color so I scooped it up without thinking much of it. DSW sells Anise polishes for $5.50 but I got mines when they were on BOGO so you might be able to get it for even cheaper. They have a variety of colors to choose from as well as creme finishes. It wasn't until I got home and swatched Crocodile Tears on my nails that I realized it looked so much like Edyta.
The best way to compare two colors is to swatch them side by side. If I pained both hands with each polishes, no one would ever notice the difference because they look remarkably alike. However, if you do a close up analysis, Edyta has more gold shimmers and Crocodile Tears is a touch greener.
I consider these 99% dupe. So that's it for my comparison. Do you know any color similar to these?

I can't even tell the difference until you put the them side by side with the names :p
