4. Now go crazy with the Gradient Tool on the Canvas, do around 50 or 60 strokes.

5. Duplicate this layer and press Ctrl + U

6. Tick the colourize and set to a colour of your choice.

7. Set the Blending Mode to Overlay

8. Create a new layer and do the same again. Go crazy with the gradient tool and set the colour of the layer to another colour not using Ctrl + U. Set this layers Blending Mode to Overlay.

9. Repeat step 8 2 or 3 more times

10. Now on Layers 2, 3, 4 and 5 go to Filter >> Render >> Difference Clouds. You will have to do these one by one. Render these clouds twice for each of these layers

11. Create a new layer and fill with White, set the Blending Mode to Soft Light

12. Create a new layer and go crazy with the Gradient Tool again.

13. Go to Filter >> Render >> Lens Flare

14. Set to 105mm Prime with brightness set to 100%

15. Repeat this 2 more times, but don't use Ctrl + F as this will put another Lens Flare on top of the other one, this is not what we want, So go through to Filter >> Render >> Lens Flare and place the Flare in a different place.

16. Once you have done that go to Filter >> Sketch >> Chrome

17. Set it to:

Detail: 5

Smoothness: 10

18. Go to Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur and set to 2px

19. Now set the layers Blending Mode to Vivid Light

20. This is what I got:
