That sounds somewhat like "Raynaud phenomenon", which is discoloration of the fingers/toes due to spasm of the arteries that supply them. It is classically associated with rheumatological disorders such as scleroderma, SLE, and others. If you're concerned about these things, you should see your doctor.
