glossiest

Maximally smooth, reflective

Glossiest is the superlative form of glossy—the most shiny, smooth, or polished among a group: She had the glossiest hair in the room.

It can describe physical surfaces or, figuratively, the most superficially attractive or slickly produced: the glossiest fashion magazines.
