I am 23 right now, and have had this color of pale nails since birth. I have never ever thought about it earlier thinking that it's normal and since I am non-alcoholic I had a misconception that only drinkers get liver diseases...
But today i came accross Terry's nails in internet and felt that the pictures in internet resembles my nails. I have no symptoms of Liver disease such as fatigue, nausea, edema, yellow skin/eyes etc.... Should i be worried?
Please anyone tell if it's Terry's Nails or not, and should I be worried about liver diseases such as cirhosis...i have had these light pink nails right from birth itself.....

If you have had nails that colour from birth and have no symptoms of liver disease why would you be worried? Stop googling and worrying over nothing and live your life.
Good morning, if you have any concerns about your health then it is always best to discuss wih your own doctor, no one on this forum is qualifies to make a diagnosis. Please note as well that it is against the forum guidelines to post pictures asking for an opinion regarding a diagnosis so I would be grateful if you would remove the picture.
Your nails are indeed quite pale. However, that may just be natural for you. If you have a concern about liver disease then do get yourself checked out by a doctor. But, as your nails have been that colour since birth you probably don't have too much to be concerned about.
Yes, i got it checked it from my doctor... initially he also suspected some abnormality with respect to Liver or Kidney Functioning....but suggested to undergo complete blood test to look out for the exact reason.... My Liver and Kidney Functioning came out to be no normal and the actual reason for this kind of pale nails turned out to be Vitamin D3 and calcium deficiencies....now I am on medication with respect to that.....
