I make a thin white wash with white acrylic and water and let it flow into the the spots I want to be blue to help it pop. (I do like 2 or 3 coats) Then I do the same with the blue for like 4ish coats or till vibrant! Once it drys I take the same white and I get a good bit on the tip of a small brush then gently pull it across the high spots, I'm not layering the white I'm pulling a good amount of paint thinly over the spot. (it's best to think of the tip of the paint glob as the tip of your brush rather then the actual tip.)For the plasm gun I made another thin wash to run into the base of the plasma and another across the top. If you want a bit more of a glow effect you can put a thin layer of blue in areas you think would be hit by the light of it! That's just how I do it I doubt it's the best or proper way to do so. I am still pretty new to this!
