I Have A Horizontal Purple Line Going Across The Whole Nail

About a month ago, I had a slight pain in my big toe above the joint, but below the cuticle line. Now I have a horizontal purplish line going across the whole nail. It seems to be moving upward as my nail has grown. There is no pain, only a bruised like line.
