Lets add some reflections to our buttons, select the “elliptical marquee tool” and draw a circle over the buttons like this.

Here comes the tricky part, “hide every layer apart from your buttons” once everything is hidden goto “layer > merge visable” all of your buttons should now be on one layer with the layer styles intact. Unhide everything then click on your buttons layer whilst holding down the ctrl key on the keyboard, now click your white circle layer and goto “select > inverse” and hit the delete key on your keyboard. You should be left with this.
Now set the opacity of your white cirle layer to about 40%.
