Gaudy
Ostentation, Splendor
な adjective, noun
If something has showy beauty then it's going a little overboard and is going to come across as gaudy ostentation. Too much is too much.
Compared to the similar word 派手 (flashy), 華美 suggests a more refined kind of splendor — luxurious and elegant, but a tad excessive. It's a formal word, generally used in writing to describe clothing or decor that's beautiful but verges on being showy.
This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own.
