Why are my nails so pink?

Published in Nail Health 1 min read

It's likely that your nails are pink because of the healthy blood circulation in your nail beds. The pink hue is a reflection of the color of the underlying tissues.

Here's why:

  • Healthy nail color: A healthy nail is typically pink, with a white crescent shape at the base called the lunula. This indicates good blood circulation and a healthy nail bed.
  • Transparency: Nails are partly transparent, so the pink color of the nail bed shows through where the nail is attached.
  • Nail bed: The nail bed is a layer of skin that provides nourishment to the nail plate.

If you're concerned about your nails, it's always a good idea to consult a doctor or a dermatologist.
