Hi,
As evident in the image you have shared, you have whitish discoloration of most of your nail except for the far end. This could be seen with both Terry's nails or Half and Half nails.
Either way, i suggest you do not panic.
You could get a basic blood work done and consult a physician to get a check up
You can always consult me if you feel the need to.
Thank you
