The nail plate is made up of several layers of kerain (a protein). Ideally, those layers are sealed together to form a unified, strong nail. But when nails aren't protected your hands are in water a lot, or exposed to cold, dry air those layers tend to delaminate. The result is nails tht are likely to peel.
Desides being and indication that you need to take better care of your nails polish can help seal the layers and moisturizing them several times a day will keep the layers supple peeling nails can mean a diet that's lacking in linoleic acid. The easiest way to up your intake is to increase your use of vegetable oils (add some to your salad dressing or drizzle aome on streamed veggies).
