sparkly
word
Definition
Something that is sparkly shines with many small points of light or glitters, often because it reflects light.
Usage & Nuances
"Sparkly" is informal and often used to describe clothes, jewelry, makeup, decorations, or anything with glitter or light-reflecting qualities. Common collocations: 'sparkly dress', 'sparkly eyes', 'sparkly shoes'. Don’t confuse with 'shiny', which means simply bright and reflective but not necessarily with multiple, glittering points.
