Lastly, we’re going to add the text to the button.
First of all get the text tool and write out your text.

The font I used above is called Marvelouz DSG, you can download it here from DaFont.
The color I used for my text above is #b41f0b.
Now, after writing my text out I applied the following layer styles:

• Drop Shadow
• Inner Shadow
  Color used: #ffffff.
• Outer Glow
  Color used: #000000.
• Gradient Overlay
  Black to white, reflected gradient.

Your text should now look like this:

Lastly for the text I added a gloss-shine to the top. You can do that by following these steps:

1. Select the text (CTRL+CLICK layer thumbnail.)
2. Create a new layer.
3. Draw a white-transparent gradient inside of selection.
4. Delete lower half of gradient.
5. Change layer mode for gradient layer to Soft Light, lower opacity to 45-60%.

Step 6.

Lastly, all you need to do is duplicate the button a few times, and add in some little details.
