Fingernails

As I get older, my nails have become more brittle and now split too easily, making my playing pretty limited. Has anyone else encountered this and what do you do about it?.

Gracias! Lots of commentary and advice, as I recall. Miss having been here for a while. Have issues with my fingers now, basically arthritis which is proving difficult for playing!!! But nails too. Cranky old flamenco git.
