I paint my nails all the time and they have become really brittle. They peel and flake at the tips in layers. Any suggestions on products, techniques, or things I should stop doing to make this not happen anymore?

The same thing happens to me! I would really like to know too, sorry this wasn't helpful but...

Do you use a base coat? It could be because you paint them so often without one. I recommend buying a nail strengthening polish, Sally Hansen has a good one.

How often do you give your nails a break from polish? Every night, I like to use Argan oil to moisturize my nails and cuticles but any cuticle oil would get the job done.
What do you use to remove your nail polish? Acetone/Acetone free? Acetone will strip your nails and weaken them that way. I like to use Josie Maran's nail polish remover but any acetone free one will work. It takes longer to remove polish sadly but my nails are so much better from switching. Save the acetone one for stubborn glitter days.
What file are you using? Rough embry boards are horrible for them, finer textured files are better. Also again, takes longer, but its best to file in one direction. Going back and for with an embry board causes little tears and will make your nails more brittle and break/flake.
Hope that helps some.

Forgot to mention, don't over wash your hands and if you're not already, use cleaning gloves when using cleaning supplies. Both dry out your hands and nails bad.

I think you should let your nails have a break for a week or two this will help your nails breathe I think your nails are also maybe a little dry so I suggest to dip your hand is olive oil for 5min every day or once a week 👍👍 hope this helps and your nails get better 😘😘

I will give them a break! It's decided. I do wash my hands and wash dishes very often but I can't not do it!

Lol. Maybe use some cleaning gloves for when you wash dishes.
