-PS CS (translatable, I believe)
-Hue/Sat, Color Balance, slight Selective Coloring (no, there are no neon people)

EDIT: Fixed one of the steps, sorry. The blue layer, should be set to multiply, not normal ;_;


1] Start with your base and crop it down.



2] Duplicate it once, set to screen (100%)



3] Add a Hue/Saturation layer: Saturation +50



4] Add a Color Balance layer: -100, -66, -50



5] Add a color fill layer: #A7E5E6, multiply, 61%



6] Duplicate your screen layer, bring to the top and desaturate


>>

7] Grab this texture by _adhara_, crop it down to your liking, and set to Multiply, 88%



8] Add another Hue/Saturation layer: Saturation +27



9] Make a selective coloring layer and play around until you get something you like. I don't mean making your icon radioactive and blinding! For the curious, I used these settings, but they probably won't work on all icons. EXPERIMENTATION IS YOUR FRIEND :D



10] Then add in a Brightness/Contrast layer:

Brightness: +5
Contrast: +12



11] Go back to your desaturated screen later and sharpen, then merge, and you're done!

For those who're curious, here is what my layers looked like at the end:



..and other examples of what this tutorial can achieve (with minor opacity/selective coloring changes):
