Lindsay's Nails/Half-and-half nails?

My nails have been doing some weird things lately and I recently found it most closely resembling photos of Lindsay nails/half-and-half nails. I read this can happen in completely healthy people but is it still a cause for concern? My doctor said this might happen with thyroid issues but I've mostly found it related to kidney/liver issues. Recommended to get a blood test? Thank you!

I'm only 50mcg of Mylan brand. I've had a steady dose for a while so that hasn't changed.

Mostew, The photo is visible on my laptop screen. If you still can't see it, it might be down to the device you're using as some small mobile devices (e.g. phone, tablet etc.) don't seem to handle pics in comments.
