: How to achieve a "shiny" effect in photoshop? I'm trying to obtain this kind of effect in Photoshop but can't get it exactly. Things I have tried: First I made a oval shape with white

I don't know, you just make multiple layers and get closer step by step, I needed just a few minutes for this. Take a good look at what the effect is and try to think of what it is composed of. Color, shapes, gradients..

It would help if you had a screenshot of your attempt, but I think I can guess where you are having an issue. Try making the color of the glow a similar color to the object that's glowing. In your example, notice that the outer edges of the glow are a pink color, not white.

If I were making the effect, I would have two layers (as you did) and set the top layer's blending mode to "Overlay". Try setting both layers to Overlay and see if you like the effect.
