This is how you can create a beautiful button with a bezel and rounded edges:

loginButton = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(self.view.bounds.origin.x + (self.view.bounds.width * 0.325), self.view.bounds.origin.y + (self.view.bounds.height * 0.8), self.view.bounds.origin.x + (self.view.bounds.width * 0.35), self.view.bounds.origin.y + (self.view.bounds.height * 0.05)))
loginButton.layer.cornerRadius = 18.0
loginButton.layer.borderWidth = 2.0
loginButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
loginButton.layer.borderColor = UIColor.whiteColor().CGColor
loginButton.setTitle("Login", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
loginButton.setTitleColor(UIColor(red: 24.0/100, green: 116.0/255, blue: 205.0/205, alpha: 1.0), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
