I have the same problem with my nails and I’ve tried a bunch of nail hardeners and strengtheners, and none of them seem to be an instant fix. I’ve noticed it’s not the brand you buy, it’s how much and how often you apply it. Your hands and nails take a lot of abuse on a daily basis, and the hardener wears off pretty fast leaving your nails unprotected and open to splitting and breaking. Apply three coats of any kind of clear polish and reapply a coat or two every day. After your nails grow a little and they are past the tips of your fingers, make sure you apply the hardener on the backs of your nails too.
