I bought this from my lovely friend The Asian Girl in a blog sale and I am stoked on it. It is one of my favorite duochromes. I wish there were more polishes like this. I have no idea when it came out or what but I would be surprised if it was still being made. Kiwizing is a crazy name too, not sure what it means, but I know there was a lipstick by Revlon with the same name. The color is really dope, it has a metallic lavender flash on a greenish base. The green reminds me of the color your skin turns when you wear cheap jewelry or the color of old copper. Two coats here.
What are some of your favorite duochromes?
This colour is absolutely gorgeous! I got one revlon polish named magic steel 080. It's also a duochrome from a couple of years ago and it's really hard to find a duochrome right now. The base colour is purple and the shine is between gray/greenish. In fact is a bit similar to this amazing kiwizing.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why, in my country (Argentina), it seems an oddissey to find a duochrome nowadays. I still wonder if fashion changed worldwide or just here, really sad to me :/
Well, your blog is great and I love it! Greetings from Buenos Aires (Y).
This looks exactly like OPI Not Like the Movies.
ReplyDelete@Alli they may look similar in photos but not like the movies has a grey base while this one doesn't at all. they're quite different.
ReplyDeleteVery nice color, cray cray name! Zoya Ki still wows me whenever I put it on!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite duochromes is Mash Up by Sephora by OPI. It reminds me of this, but it's a little lighter. =]
ReplyDeletelove it! i have KhakiZing, i wish i could get my hands on this whole collection! :D
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of the Revlon 'Zing' colors. Not sure what that means except I think they tended to be duo-chromes (or multi, if you prefer). My personal favorite is Mango Zing, which also had a lipstick with the same name and the polish is impossible to find, even on eBay, or I'd grab up a backup. It's a reddish-orange that flashes violet, total awesomeness. I also have Violet Zing (warm lavender, flashes golden) and Cherry Zing (cherry red with a very slight pink or purple flash). And... I've gotten long winded. Great color, loves me some duo-chrome!
ReplyDeleteThis really reminds me of Deborah Lippmann's 'Wicked Game'...same kind of duochrome flash to it, with the lavender/green fire! Now I'm curious to know more about this one! Looks super on you!
ReplyDelete@UneLuneBleue oh wow so there was a whole Zing collection?! damn i must have them all!
ReplyDeleteNice I found a similar Revlon called Silver Switch... the bottle is the same design, but it's more silver. Same duochrome-y goodness.
ReplyDeleteThere were two collections of Revlon Zing polishes. I actually have a post scheduled on the European Exclusive Zing polishes (ReallyZing, NightZing, JungleZing and GoldZing) later this week. Zing polishes are an obsession of mine. I currently have KhakiZing, KiwiZing, TangyZing, PeachZing, CitrusZing. RozeZing is pretty boring but easy to find. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for CherryZing, MangoZing and VioletZing though! That's all that I know of but there could be more!
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is available anymore. :/
ReplyDeleteMy favorite duochrome for now is still DL Wicked Game. I would love to get my hands on some Ozotics though. That would be sweet.
SUPA PRETTY!! I looove me some duochrome. one on my faves is SH Golden Cinnabar form the prisms collection :0)
ReplyDeleteI used to have on called KhakiZing. It was my favorite polish when I was a kid, the duochrome fascinated me. Unfortunately one time after having some "friends" over it disappeared. I know Nubar Purple Beach is a dupe but I still want Khakizing for sentimental reasons and can't find it anywhere!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous duochrome! I'm glad drugstore polishes have duochromes as well :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the "zing" collection. Darn! Wish they'd re-introduce them. That polish is gorgeous. I wish they'd show up at a Dollar Store.

ReplyDeleteYep, testing my memory here, but I want to say they were in the mid-90s... ish, maybe early 2000s, I can't remember when I got them. I've been hunting down a few of them for awhile, not very easy to find, errrr.
