Splinter hemorraghe is caused by voids in the nail cell production which fill up with blood from the nail bed. They do not run the entire length of the nail plate, but will grow forward with the nail plate until they grow off with the free edge.

Melanonychia are vertical pigmented bands, often described as nail 'moles', which usually form in the nail matrix. Seek a physicians care should you suddenly see this change in the nail plate. It could signify a malignant melanoma or lesion. Dark streaks may be a normal occurrence in dark-skinned individuals, and are fairly common.

What is the appearance of a healthy nail?

Healthy nails are usually a consistent pink color. They are hard and moist enough that they do not break or split too easily. The edges of your nails should stop while still on the finger, and the nails should be firmly attached to your nail beds. Healthy nails are smooth, and the texture shouldn't include things like Beau's lines, which are deep grooved lines from side to side of the fingernail. Beau's lines are a sign of infection or Kawasaki disease. Nails should also run straight out of the finger tip, as opposed to curving out (koilonychias: a sign of anemia).
