Fashion Rocks: J-Lo Fashion Icon

I've been telling people for awhile now that there is no Woman in the industry that can out dress J-Lo.

I'm so not a J-Lo "fan" but, I do speak the truth!!!! Here she is in a historic Fashion editorial in Elle Magazine with 9, count them, 9 Fashion Iconic Designers. Take note kidz!!!!!

Hey J.R. Taylor at 10:23 PM on Sep 13, 2008! Help. On your post you mention: manicure by Elle for Barielle;
On the December 2008 Redbook cover Mariah Carey is wearing the most-est awesome nail polish! It's mirror like. I have contacted Barielle and they do not have the polish but whoever did the manicure "Elle" must have it - but would not provide their contact information. Who is "Elle" -how can I find that nail polish!!
Thanks!
