    The item that struck me most about your pictures is how white your fingernails are. If it is not paint then you need to get a blood test for anemia (lack of iron).

      Two things to bear in mind:

      1 The colour that displays on my screen may not match reality. If you used an iPhone and I see it on Windows, that is a notorious issue.

      2 I am white European so my 'normal' is not the same as your normal.

      So it would be a good idea to compare your nails against some friends with a similar skin colour. This could be a genuine case of fake news!
