Nail inspiration online often comes in the form of perfectly manicured nails – shiny, painted talons that are smooth and shaped.
However, behind the colour and shine, our nails can reveal a great deal about what is going on beneath the surface.
Your manicurist may be able to detect a problem before you do.
“The earliest signs I look for are changes in colour, texture and growth,” says nail artist Jessica White, founder of Blanc Studios salon and training academy in Leeds, England.
“Pale or blue-tinged nails can suggest circulation issues, while yellowing nails may point to fungal concerns.”
Other shifts, such as ridges, pitting or sudden changes in nail thickness, can also indicate health concerns.
