blingy
Covered in rhinestones
Blingy describes something flashy, glittery, or ostentatiously sparkly—especially jewelry, accessories, or clothing covered in rhinestones, sequins, or metallic elements.
The word derives from bling, hip-hop slang for showy jewelry: That phone case is way too blingy for my taste.
Blingy suggests excess or tackiness, though sometimes affectionately.
