Yes somewhat stupid question, but

If you go into the 'mode' setting that's on top of the layers, there is a setting called 'Luminosity', and it makes whatever colour you are using bright and shiny! Hope this helps. ^_^

This is one option. You can also change the color up a bit to get a slightly different effect.
You just move up the color wheel a little and add a little white.
So for example: you want to make the color orange look brighter. Move the color wheel towards yellow and add some white.

The opposite. Move it down the color wheel and add a little black. Or use multiply.

whipped this up really quick (this guide DOES assume you are using SAI, but it's kinda the same in other programs like FireAlpaca.) o yeah, this is more for cell shading than soft but if you have a good smoothing/colorless blending tool you can easily make it soft shaded :]
I'm not a wonderful artist myself, so feel free to experiment and find what you like best. gl~
oh yes, and no question is stupid. If it helps you learn, ask any question you need to.

Honestly, this would be a lot easier if you gave an example of your work.
Easiest way to make something shiny is to experiment with complementary colors. For example, if I were to color something purple, I would highlight with orange if I wanted that effect. If I wanted to be a little more subtle, I would highlight with something analogous to orange like yellow or a light shade of red.
