Fingernails

As we know, Gordon uses both nails and plectrum to play, so how do you look after your nails Gordon? Do you have false ones, or use nail strengthener.....?
I'd be interested to know how other fingerstyle guitarists look after their nails. I keep my nails about 1mm longer than the fingers, but they do break if I don't look after them. Anyone got any suggestions for nail strengthener that you've used? And how do you file them... what length.... what shape?
I've often done fingerstyle on my 12-string and they are shot to pieces afterwards! (See my youtube site for proof.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY16JDLVP0I ).
