I'm working in PS7, so hopefully this makes sense!

For the sunglasses icons (and well, the part of the wallpaper that I pulled them from), I started off with this texture from Tre - a great resource, I highly recommend it! The screencaps were already black & white, so I positioned them on the next layer, set the layer to screen to pull out the white. Then, a pink to blue gradient with the layer on lighten. Then, another layer with the black & white pictures set to hard light. Then, to give the glasses a splash of color, on a new layer, I used just any old round brush to paint with a bright blue over where the glasses would be and set the layer to color. To get the rough bottom edges, I merged those layers together to give me one and just swiped over the bottom with the eraser tool set on a rough looking brush.

28 & 29 are two caps blended together and set to hard light on top of the dark part of the texture. The textures from Tre offer so many light and dark areas that they are usually really easy to get a good light effect with out having to do much fancy photoshopping.

YAY! I have Adobe Photoshop and PSP7$10 so I'll look into it with both, I'm pretty good at taking PS7 tutorials and changing them to PSP, thanks!
