A member asked:
My finger nail white tips are a funny shape they are spreading into the pink bed with not much pink to see affecting nearly all my finger nails ?

See a dermatologist: Nail problems may or may not be an indication of medical problems. I would see a dermatologist to see if this is the case i would also stop wearing nail polish if you are doing so.

Don't know: A nail that is detached from nail bed can be white. Other causes can be fungal infection or poor blood supply to nail from conditions like cirrhosis, diabetes, iron-deficiency anemia, chemotherapy, malnutrition, hyperthyroidism, or failure of organs such as liver, kidney or heart. Recommend that you have this evaluated.
