Jet, your idea is pretty sweet.
If I were you I would use Tori and Uke, preferably with shaders (meatwad_silver.inc), if your Graphic Card does not support them ask somebody to make you a picture like that.
Pick a simple color scheme, like: Blue, White and Black eg.
Make gloss a gradient (transparent to white) instead of just half transparent white.
Use different shape for the 'base', rectangle is too sharp. Use rounded rectangle shape and if you use PS pick radius of like 100px.
That's all I can think of at the moment
