Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
There are multiple conditions of the nail causing this kind of discoloration. No need to worry.

Get some laboratory tests

I have gone through your photograph.
The nails seem to be little pale.
I would recommend you to get your liver function tests, thyroid function tests, haemoglobin and kidney function tests to rule out the causes of nail discoloration.

Brief Answer:
Doesn’t seem to be something very serious
Detailed Answer:
This doesn’t seem to be something very serious.
It can be due to some minor ailments like anemia, eczema, psoriasis and something occurs without a cause.
Still to be on a safer side I would recommend you to get the tests done to exclude any internal causes.
