Use a cuticle remover to soften them and get rid of old, dry hang nails. Use a cuticle trimmer to trim off any hang nails that stick out. Do not cut off all of your cuticles; only trim off the dry part.
OPI's Avoplex cuticle remover is the best one. Just apply it and leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse your nails & rub off the excess cuticle w/ a wash cloth.
Use a cuticle balm or nail oil to moisturize them.
(ex. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex) Vit E oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline or plain Chapstick will work too.
Use a moisturizing soap to wash your hands & apply lotion throughout the day.

Sounds like you need to put on a base coat & a top coat. OPI is a great brand to use, base & top coat come in the same bottle. It makes my nail polish stay on weeks & it never peels off. Use the nail growth stuff then put the OPI stuff overtop & then apply your nail polish. Also try to use a better brand of nail polish, it makes a big difference.

Cuticle l cream is great, or other really good alternatives (often found in cuticle creams) are vitamin E oil, or Castor oil, applied directly to the cuticle and surrounding area.

Besides alot of lotion, weekly manicures. Also, make it a nightly ritual to put on a heavy, greasy lotion before bed each night, let in soak into your hands while you sleep. Also, if working'/cleaning with chemicals like bleach or immonia, use gloves.

I have been told it is down to biting your nails if you do not bite your nails try using a moisturiser or wearing gloves in harsh weather.
