is it all yr nails or just one? if its just one maybe u have hit it or damaged the nail bed in some way. if this is the case then it will grow out. if its all of them then i would get a doctor to look at them to check all is ok.

If the line is a blue colour you should see your GP, Especially if you sunbathe. I don't think other colour variations are so important, just simple vitamin deficiencies, but you should talk to your doctor.

A sign of carbon monoxide poisoning is cherry lips, finger nails and oral mucosa. You may want to think about that.

I am sure it's a lack of oxygen. Open your windows more often, and go to fresh air once a day, where breathe in and out deeply.
