Now to do that, I'm going to need to add a glossy shader. Over here on the node editor you can see we have our diffuse shader, which is the same as this right here. And we have our color here. What I want to do is mix this shader with a glossy shader, so to add a new node in the node editor, I'll press shift + a and I'll go to Shader, and Glossy. And add this here. And then, I'll add a mix shader with shift + a, Shader, Mix, and I'll drop that right in here.
