Hydrated skin and on-trend nails set the tone for successful Fall fashion.

Hydration Hack

No trends looks right--no matter the season--unless your skin looks fresh and hydrated. Enter water-activated Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion, a patented formula that moisturizes skin instantly with no sticky feel, leaving it looking healthy and beautiful from head to toe.

"What I love about it is that it's super fast and easy to use. As the name implies you use it in-shower, so when you're done cleansing, while your skin is still wet, you smooth it on and it keeps you hydrated for 24 hours," says beauty editor and expert Didi Gluck. It's available in four great fragrances including Cocoa Butter for dry skin.

Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion is available at food, drug and mass retailers.

Polish=The Ultimate Accessory

Another way to get a great new look for yourself with very low commitment, very fast and easy, is to change up your manicure.

CND, makers of Vinylux and Shellac brand polishes, which insiders know stay on your nails for up to two weeks, have been partnering with designers at the runway shows for more than 20 years! This season they joined forces with Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet as well as Libertine. They came up with some great nail looks for both shows:

"At Libertine the look was inspired by '70s and '80s punk, and true to punk form it was chaotic and artistic and creative. Instead of doing one accent nail the models did a split-style manicure which means it was one look on one hand and another on the other hand. It was a mix of bright and bold colors and dark and edgy colors and textures," reports Gluck.

"With Alice + Olivia it was the other end of the spectrum so there's something for everyone. It was a creative take on the classic French manicure," she adds.
