I have heard some people say they use spray Butter Pam. I sometimes brush vanilla on. It takes a while to soak in and leaves a bit of a sheen, but probably not as shiny as what you are looking for.
confectioners glasze is the best shine ever.
steam or rubbing/ spraying on fat will work too, not as well.

I rub some shortening on mine to get them shiny and it stays that way. But you have to watch your fingers smudging it.
You might try a clear piping gel. I've tried coating with crisco, Pam and the like, but it absorbs to a sheen,not a shine.
I saw on Fabulous Cakes they spray vegetable oil in a squirt bottle to give it sheen. I haven't tried it but it might be worth a try
