shiniest
Reflecting the most
Shiniest is the superlative form of shiny—the most reflective, glossy, or lustrous among a group: She picked the shiniest apple from the basket.
Often used figuratively for things that are newest or most attention-grabbing: The shiniest new gadget isn't always the best.
