they're nail bruises. they are caused by wearing nail polish that is bad for your nails, or nail polish that's even been on your nails too long. they also occur when you accidentally tap your nail against something hard, like a corner of a table. they go away just like regular bruises.

I think what you're talkng about are those little white lines, a lot of people get them. Theyre bruises, they don't really mean any thing. Some people say they come when you tell a lie, or you're going to get a present, but thats just a bunch of myths. As far as your health, they're probably fine, as long as you dont get too many of them. If you get one on every nail and they dont go away or something, talk to people. If someone can see your problem, theres more chance that they can figure out a better solution, its hard to give advice when you cant see them. :P.
But it's probably no big deal. Hope I helpped, love ya,
