Yuckie Food Coloring Under Nails!!

Try lemon juice too, seems to work after eating Indian food. I used to think the half lemon was just a garnish till a waiter told me the real reason, what a dum dum I am. Also, since starting cakes I have had a terrible problem with the state of my nails too. Once strong and thick, they now split and chip and flake and I was wondering if it is because my hands are in water a million times a day? Anyone else have a hand problem? Gloves are out of the question for me I can't stand them.
There is also a thing called colorwash it's for cake decorator to remove the paint off their hands I haven't tried it though.
I heard that Comet scrub is really good at taking the coloring off your hands and nails. I haven't tried it yet though.

...yeah, by removing layers of your skin... 
I use the good old nail brush for washing finger tips and under the nails--and if the stuff is bad I use foot scrub since it is really gritty. I garden so dirt is an issue! I usually stay color free decorating cakes--except the time I delivered a cake and had green all over my thumb. Lets say I couldn't blame it on gardening!
If it's really bad, I just paint 'em until the color wears off. 
LizzyB, you're dead on that water (and probably soap) are affecting your nails. I'd just keep a coat of strengthener on all the time (you're usually supposed to layer it every night anyway). Drugstore brands are fine - work just as well as the expensive stuff.
The quickest way I remove the colors from my hands and under my nails is with Crisco....seems to cut it quickly and it doesn't dry out my skin.
