I read lots of articles talking about the color of nails--blue, white, yellow, green and a lot more. Is it true that nail color tell how healthy you are? It is also said that some diseases may in the end not only damage the nail but also show some color. Any mylotters who know anything about the color of nails, please share. Who knows it will be useful to us all. Thank you.

hi..yes i heard it too. I heard that if nails are pink then they healthy and we have good blood content. But if they whitish and pale then we lack calcium and blood.

what if the color is half pink and half white? What does that indicate? What about yellow? It seems to me that yellow nails indicate bad health condition.

pink nail shows the HB (hemoglobin) level of our body. once the HB is low nail will appear pail or slight yellow. low HB is may be a sign of some other major problems. yellow nails may be because of some liver problems like jaundice.

For the nail paint color per se, there is no indication of being unhealthy. If you remove the color, if the nails are in blue discoloration, it can be ralated to smoking. A heavy smoker used to have this discoloration.

Actually, the color that appears in the nail is caused by diseases. Even some chronic diseases may destroy the nails. I mean for overall conclusion of someone's health, we can get general information on his or her health condition.
