I had the same thing. One of my sisters and I were looking at our nails and wondering why they were so thin, peeling, and cruddy, and then we looked at our 3rd sister's nails, and they were thick and strong! Difference? My 3rd sister takes multivitamins daily, while my other sister and I didn't, and we also ate junk with little nutritional value. We had vitamin deficiencies! I've now been taking multivitamins (I get them at Costco, very cost efficient) since August, and you can see this ridge of thicker nail as my nails grow out. Pretty cool, really.
(OPI's Nail Envy didn't work for me, btw.)

Get a bottle of OPI's Nail Envy! This stuff is awesome and works great! You can get the product at nail salons or ulta. It's kind of expensive but it well worth the money. I used to have thin soft nails and used nail envy for a month and my nails got stronger in a month. (you have to get the original formula it will say it on the bottle)

Maybe you have to increase your protein intake ?
"keratin, any one of a class of fibrous protein molecules that serve as structural units for various living tissues. The keratins are the major protein components of hair, wool, nails, horn, hoofs, and the quills of feathers. These proteins generally contain large quantities of the sulfur-containing amino acids, particulary cysteine. The helical keratin molecules twist around each other to form elongated strands called intermediate filaments. The formation of a covalent chemical bond called a disulfide bridge between the sulfer atoms on two cysteins on separate polypeptide chains of keratin allows for the cross-linkage of these chains and results in a fairly rigid aggregate. This phenomenon is seen to be consistent with the physiological role of the keratins, which provide a tough, fibrous matrix for the tissues in which they are found. Human hair is approximately 14% cystine (cysteins cross-linked by disulfide bridges)."

Go to a salon and get this stuff to put on your nails daily. It keeps your nails strong and healthy. If that doesn't work I suggest a manicure. Oh and don't cut them too much. It hurts the skin and nail if you cut it too low. Another good thing is milk. Good luck!

Use clear nail strengtheners. And occationally go without any polish to allow your nails to breath.

trim them down till theres nothing to poke with, but if you like long fingernails you should buy french tipped fake ones, they wont be sharp enough to hurt someone and you can still have long fingernails =] Good Luck.

Use a nail moisterizer and maybe a nail file?
