Not sure by your: description that you have bruises under neath your fingernail or could be cyanosis, which is blue discoloration of your skin due to poor oxygenation of your blood. You could be anemic from the constant bruising, which is a serious sign and will need thorough workup for blood diseases. Or you could have cold intolerance or Raynaud's and rheumatoid condition.
