Well, Phe would be the supreme grand master of doing nice shiny gorgeous eyes, buuuut...

I use a second layer to add white highlights to the eye, usually a white circle or oval in one of the top corners of the pupil, and a smaller one on the opposite lower corner. Then I add some light and dark colours to the iris to give them a more 3 dimensional effect; a lighter colour on the lower half and then a darker colour above. And sometimes lighter in the middle, surrounding the pupil and darker around the edges...

Like Shi' said: (and it works for just about anything that you want to look shiny!)

1) Determine your light source.
2) Use a darker colour facing /towards/ the light source, in the eye.
3) Use a lighter colour on the opposite side from the light source.
4) Put a white spot on top of the darker colour.

Voila, shiny-eye!
