OPI Warm & Fozzie Dupe?

Ive just got back from a bit of shopping in town....when I was at work yesterday I noticed the new Barry M nail colours so decided to by copper and teal today.

It was only when I got home that I realised that I already has a colour similar to copper, OPI warm & fozzie. After looking at the together they are nearly identical, although I would say that the Barry M has a little more gold to it compared to OPI.

Here are the pictures of the bottles side by side:
 As you can see, they do look pretty simlar to each other...however on the nails you can see a difference (sorry about the messy nails, this was done in a rush!)
(OPI Warm & Fozzie - Left, Barry M 335 Copper - Right)

Although they do clearly look different in the picture above, the difference is less obvious in real life, and since the OPI was a limited edition, the Barry M more affordable and easier to get hold of!
