What you need to do is moisturize your nails so that they become flexible instead of brittle. Place a bottle of hand lotion or creme that contains a high content of Lanolin on the nightstand next to your bed. Every night when you retire for the evening, rub about a tablespoon into your hands, paying special attention to nails and cuticles. Lanolin is an excellent moisturizer and nails that have a higher moisture level are more resilient to breakage and preserved flexibility. Using at bedtime helps ensure that the lotion/creme will not be washed off or otherwise diluted or contaminated and will have the longest period of time to absorb into the impoverished areas. In a very short time you will notice that your polishes will flow more smoothly on your nails, your hands will be softer and rough areas will be gone. Your nails will no longer crack, chip, and break barely hitting the side of the door, table, door handle, etc. Instead, you will see how easily your nail flexes and bends while reflecting the hard surfaces. Try this method, you'll be a believer!

Water dries out & weakens nails. Apply plain Vaseline or lip balm as a protective coat in the morning.
Nail oils (e.g. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex), pure vitamin E oil or jojoba oil will help make nails stronger.
Avoid using nail clippers. Use nail files for thin nails to shorten and shape them.
Some women swear by pre-natal vitamins.
Avoid using nail polishes w/ toluene & formaldehyde. These are very hard on your nails.

I had the same problem, but I'm now using Nailtiques, which you can get at Ulta. So far, I'm happy with it. It's kind of pricey at $18 a bottle though. If you can't afford that, try Sally Hansen. She's been making nail hardeners for decades. I remember my mom using Sally Hansen when I was a kid. I've also heard a little about OPI Nail Envy, but I haven't tried it.
