Here's what you do.
Invest in a good Buffer, DO NOT USE AN EMERY BOARD, UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THEM PROPERLY.
Do not use a nail file by filing back and fourth, only file one way, as going back and fourth can lead to splitting the nails, and then when you get your hands wet, the water travels up the nails causing them more damage.
So, like I said buy yourself a nail buffer, buff your nails twice a week, not for too long and not too hard as this can also damage the nail, and buffing too hard will make your nails burn, that is a sign of too much buffing and a sign that the nail is thinning, and that's not good, so just buff enough to stimulate the nail growth.
When filing, instead of using a harsh emery board, use a soft nail file, as these won't damage the nail like a harsh emery board. I never cut mine, or clip them, I just file them with a soft board.
Then apply some hand cream, use Vaseline Hand and Nail Cream. I use this as a cuticle cream too, its really good and inexpensive.
I have done numerous nail courses, and have loads of nail stuff, so if you want to email me with your address, and I will send you a soft cushion nail file and a buffer. They can be washed and used over and over again.
All the best, and don't be shy to email me.

Drink lots of water and milk!
Also try dipping your nails in a sink filled with water and a bit of olive oil, that hardens your nails!
I have very long nails and they never split!

Take prenatal vitamins, and and rub your nails against the nails on your other hand to stimulate blood flow, and nutrition to the nail.

The more you use your hands the faster the fingernails grow, honest. When I played piano my fingernails grew like the clappers. A healthy, balanced diet will also help keep them strong.
