Typically, fingernails that are bluish or purplish in color are a sign of�low hemoglobin. The medical term purple or blue fingernails is cyanosis.�It?s often due to low hemoglobin. Hemoglobin�is the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. Without it, there would be no way to transport oxygen throughout the body. In normal circumstances, arterial blood is bright red. That?s because of all the oxygen it contains. This means that the surrounding tissue, including the skin under your nails, will be a pigment of red as well. But when oxygen levels decrease, your blood can turn purple or blue. This definitely�isn?t�healthy, and can be a sign of many things, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema,�asthma, and chronic bronchitis.
