Reflective bubble

Make a circle selection on a new layer, doesn't matter what the background layer is.
Fill it with white
Now using the eraser, choose a large soft edged brush and set the opacity down to around 30%, then delete the centre out like this
Paint in a hightlight with the airbrush
Apply the artistic/neon glow filter to it
Make a selection just inside your bubble and on a new layer fill with the rainbow gradient
Apply the distort/ocean ripple filter, i used s10 m5 but it doesn't matter much
With the circle still selected apply the distort/wave filter, just keep pressing randomize until you get a nice oily effect
Set the blending options to color burn and knock the opacity down to around 15%. Thats it.
