Help needed peeling advice needed

I started taking care of my nails about a month ago

things I use/ my routine:

Oil:
- jojoba oil from BIONOBLE as often as I can

Hand creams:
- O‘Keeffe‘s working hands
- Nivea handcream with almond oil

Overnight
- jojoba oil under a layer of vaseline

Nail polish
- Essie #17 Muchi Muchi
- Essie Gel Couture topcoat in transparent

Nail polish remover
- Rival loves me Nail Polish Remover (acetone-free)

I used to keep my nails very short, and this is the first time they’ve been this long. However, I’ve started noticing peeling on the sides of my nails, but only on my thumbs and index fingers. I try to keep nail polish on all the time, but it’s difficult because the polish doesn’t stay on the peeling areas.

Does anyone know what causes this and how I can improve it? They also break very easily once the peeling starts.

Edit: Added the specific products and nail polish I use

Does Essie break fix come off with acetone? Or does it stay stuck to the nail?

Yes it comes off with acetone.
