I can't exactly justify buying from Mooncat much anymore due to their sky-high prices compared to other brands. So I'm trying to find dupes for what's on my wishlist! I've managed to find pretty comparable dupes for most but have struggled to find dupes for these polishes, so I was hoping that the community here could help me source the rest of them. It doesn't need to be a 100% exact dupe but I'm looking for some that are decently close.
Polishes shown in order, all from Mooncat:

It’s not an exact dupe but for Galaxy Far Far Away, I bought Cadillacquer “we are the ones who dwell within”, it has a blue magnetic stripe and red flakes that are a bit more monochromatic than MC but I can’t get their LEs in my country. Cadillacquer did post that there will be a restock in July with their stockists. (I believe in America they’re stocked by color 4 nails? Not sure)

For Artemis, Emily De Molly “cloud cover” is similar but lacks the sparkle/seems more blue. If anyone finds an Artemis dupe with sparkle I absolutely want to know. It’s one of my fave Mooncats and I feel like I don’t often see dupes.

For Take me to Your Leader, polished for Days Eternal Glow might suit. I feel like the shimmer looks stronger than TMTYL in the photos of this one

Cosmic polish has a bunch shades similar to MC

Are you US based?
Are you in the US? I’ve been meaning to destash my Galaxy Far Far Away! If ure in the US i’d be happy to send it over to you
So I don’t know that it’s exactly the same, maybe a little pinker vs peachier but I have Lurid Lacquer Rubdown which is similar to Sand viper (I was looking at both and got Lurid instead)
I’m not sure if it’s available still but Sally Hansen Instadry sisterhood (was a Trolls collab or at least the bottle I have is) could be a dupe to Sand viper. It’s a little bit more sheer so you’d need to layer it over a pale pink to get the opacity of Sand viper but it has a very similar shimmer color (I have both and was surprised how similar they were)
Pahlish often has polishes similar to tectonic shift. Like this one https://www.pahlish.com/collections/view-all/products/with-a-broken-heart-preorder-copy
For Sand Viper, try Camellia by Polished for Days.
