English term or phrase: shiny
shiny compared to brilliant

It is about the surface quality of stainless steel.

One is as brilliant as a mirror,
the other one is also reflecting light, but a little bit more diffuse,
you just don't get a clear mirror image.

Spanish for Mexico.

translúcido


Explanation:
Un cuerpo es traslúcido cuando deja pasar la luz, pero no permite ver hacia el otro lado en forma clara. Los objetos se ven borrosos. Ejemplos: vitrales, vidrios polarizados, otros. Los cuerpos transparentes permiten pasar la luz y se puede ver a través de estos en forma clara o nítida.
