I haven't really been keeping up with this thread, but I also have a problem with cracked and brittle and flaky nails. My solution is to use a product from the UK called Nailoid Hard and Fast Nail Hardener. I live in the US now so I have to get a friend to mail it to me every so often, but it's the only thing I've ever found that works. I've tried all kinds of nail hardener over here and they're all rubbish. You paint it on every day (and it soaks in as opposed to drying on your nails like a polish) for about a week, then you only need to do it once or twice a week after that.
Nailoid has other products but this one is the ONLY one that works. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nailoid-Hard-Fast-Nail-Hardener/dp/B001Z25OUS. Hope this helps.

The Fibromyalgia Dr Armand noticed that many of the women coming to him had well tended nails - false ones, which they wore because their nails cracked and flaked and split. He would generally put them on guaifenesin, which is reckoned to sort out the problem of calcium phosphate deposits. Mine are that way, though they improved at one stage, but I can't remember what I was doing at the time. As a girl, I was told it was an arthritic thing, and not to eat this that and the other. Some biochemics might help - all twelve in one, perhaps, while you read the links posted on the subject, as I will myself.

My toe nails are totally crippled & awful- only moons anywhere on hands or feet are on the thumbs, which are very vertically ridged so much so they often split - again I assumed with was hereditary? Biotin hasn't really helped yet. Any suggestions? (homeopathy hasn't helped either with Causticum & Graphites) I was hoping that diatomaceous earth might help but I so rarely have cold drinks I haven't really started taking it yet. Jane
