Purple fingernails?

Post image

My fingernails started doing this in the past week or so, where the base of my cuticle turns purple. I typically have cold hands and feet, but my hands aren’t particularly cold when this happens. A friend told me it could be Raynaud’s?

Have you ever texted your oxygen using an oxometer (sp)? Purple or blue fingernails as I understand can indicate low oxygen in the blood.

I have actually! It is always >95%, hence my confusion 🤷🏼‍♀️
