Seriously worried this is Terry Nails (toes only)

So, following up on another thread, i was told recently that i had a fatty liver (and enlarged spleen), so i have now become terrified of having cirrhosis (especially since i am waiting on the orders for a follow up blood test). In reading about the symptoms, i ran across Terry nails, which made me look close at mine. 

My fingers are good, but my toes concern me.  I have to admit, i dont really have a great memory of where they stand (aka, i cant say if they have always looked this way), but i am so scared they are indicating a problem. I feel like i might see the moon on my "index" toe, but its hard to see for sure on the other toes.  I think the camera makes them look whiter than they are, but i am still so worried.   Any advice would be huge.

    They don't look like Terry nails. Usually, Terry nails appear white except for a narrow pink band at the tip. Yours look normal.

      I appreciate the feedback (and looking at my horrible looking toes regardless).  They do very obviously blanch, so i can see how much whiter they *could* be.
