One other idea about your splitting nails is harsh chemicals can/will do that. If you wash your hands a lot try a milder soap or milder lotion. Chemicals can wreak havoc on your nails and cuticles. Keeping your hands in water a lot can add to the problem too. Make sure you dry your hands off good after washing and dry under the nail if they are long enough.

Also, of note...problem nails can be caused by getting a little older, medications, like you suggested, and diseases such as anemia. So, just putting this out there... If anyone sees a dramatic change in their toenails or fingernails...get it checked out with a Doc.

It is sexy as all get out when a butch has beautifully manicured nails.

Great thread.
