Thank you xx

Yikes! I think you've done everything right, I'd be leaving it alone for quite a while. She could probably have normal nail polish in a few weeks just to hide the imperfections whilst they grow out. With polish it's super easy to get off and check for any issues at any point, but she will at least be able to feel like she has pretty nails too.
