Hi
Try using the Soft Edges effect on a Fill/shape. You can adjust the parameters to change the range of the 'fall off' of the edge - for more or less 'glow'. This can give a nice sort of Neon Light effect if you use it with the brightest Green, Red or Blue. Your PPG's example has the outer edge of the eye glowing a lighter/brighter colour - maybe experiment with overlaying a slightly darker shape on top of the lighter one to achieve this.

Not Working mate. Its just blurring the colour but not give that 'glow'

To make the glow effect you will have to use a soft edge shape on a separate layer that is using the blend method 'add'.

Glows have to work on darker backgrounds and when using add use a dark well saturated colour for the best effect.

That Is Working mate. I think the main factor is blend method.
