tackier
Even more kitschy
Tackier is the comparative form of tacky—more lacking in taste or style, or more sticky to the touch.
Something can be tackier than expected: The sequel was even tackier than the original.
For adhesives, tackier means having more grip: Wait until the glue gets tackier before pressing the surfaces together.
