I was studying death note's first ending 「アルミナ」, and I found this phrase:
「流れる時間の中瞬く刹那的煌めきを」the dictionary that I was using (nihongo dera) said that
both 「瞬く」 and 「煌めき」mean "to twinkle", but what's the difference between those
two words?

What's the difference between 瞬く and 煌めき?
煌め **き** is the masu-stem of the verb 煌め **く**. This 煌めき is used as a noun
("twinkling thing"). See [masu-stem used as a
noun](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/32311/5010). To be more specific,
in this context, 煌めき seems to refer to twinkling/shiny _moments_ in one's
life.

As verbs, 瞬く and 煌めく are similar, but the former is focused on the quick
brightness change, while the latter also describes something is bright/shiny.
