I recently did a post for China Glaze's Ingrid. So, I thought I would show other polishes that I had that I thought were similar. Also because I am trying to convince myself not to buy another colour but I still might even after this post.
Anyway, I have here my stash of colours or shades that are similar.
China Glaze Ingrid - After doing these swatches do I realize that China Glaze Ingrid is more brown compared to the other colours. (2 coats) 14mL
Dior Or Tsarine - This is very close to L'oreal's Owl's Night. Sadly this was a limited edition colour. This was part of the Holiday 2010 Collection. Also, it's my first Dior nail polish. I had wanted Timeless Gold, but I had thought I couldn't spend that much money on nail polish. One day, I caved and bought Or Tsarine, and it was the last one at Shoppers. Even more random was that one of the Cosmeticians was putting it on hold for another coworker, but she still sold it to me. That was really nice of her. Or Tsarine is a dark brown with gold flakes. The fine glitter has gold and green. Sorry that this is no longer available. (2 coats) 10mL
L'oreal Owl's Night - This was part of the Winter 2011 collection and was a limited edition. This is pretty similar to the Dior Or Tsarine but there's more fine glitter in this colour. The Dior shade is thicker. This is also a dark brown with golden and green fine glitter. (2 coats) 11.7mL
Maybelline Twilight Rays - This is a black with golden fine glitter. This is still available in stores :) While swatching this, I felt like the polish is pretty thin, so I had to add an extra coat for this. (3 coats) 7mL
I think the Dior, L'oreal and Maybelline are similar in that there is fine glitter rather than shimmer. Since the fine glitter is pretty distinct but it's not like big glitter particles either.
Essie Armed and Ready - Armed and Ready is more of an olive green with golden shimmer. Placed side by side with China Glaze's Ingrid, it's pretty different as well. In addition to olive green, it kind of comes off as a dark grey in certain light. 13.5mL (this is the drug store version of this shade which makes the amount differ for some reason).

There aren't any exact dupes but some of the look pretty similar.
