It can only damage your fingernails if you have polish on your nails over a long period of time. In other words, you take off the old polish and then straight away put on a couple of coats of new polish. Your fingernails need to breathe. You also need to be aware of the chemicals being used in some nail polishes, these chemicals should always be avoided.

added:

As above, when you frequently change nail polish colors, the harsh nail polish remover actually strips the lipids in the nail and the fingernail can literally dry out and become brittle.

Further, some lesser quality (and usually darker color polishes) can leach into your nail and actually stain them. One way to help avoid this would be to use a clear coat polish first (let it dry) then apply the dark color polish. As the person above notes, it is important to give your nails a break polish when you can.
