Pale white nail suggest anemia which is common. This could be the reason of line too. Nail reflects a lot of conditions. Get checked blood Iron and Vit B. Take them if deficient. If line persists then more detailed assesment is required.

Melanonychia is when you have brown or black lines on your nails. The decolorization is usually in a stripe that starts at the bottom of your nail bed and continues to the top. It may be in one nail or several vitamin B12 deficiency to cause brown-gray nail discoloration
