I don't have this problem, (and though I probably shouldn't say this lol) to put it bluntly, it's because I never do anything. Probably the most hands on contact I get is driving my car.. We have a lady that cleans our house and we have a dishwasher and such. I have soft hands and long nails, but I don't do anything special to them on a daily basis, just rub lotion on them after I shower.

A big key to long/strong nails is avoiding activities that might cause them to break and keeping them trimmed to a reasonable length. Another major part of it is your DIET. Keep that in check and fix the problem from the inside out.

If you think the humidity is a problem, your best bet is to get some humidifiers (spelling?) and keep some lotion on those hands(ideally some kind of "butter", shea butter works great).

If that doesn't help, I'd suggest going to get manicured and get a paraffin wax dip, the dips you get at a spa/salon are a better than the home dips in my opinion. I get them every time I get manicured. Ask your manicurist to recommend a cream or brand name, most places sell good stuff right in their offices.
