It's hard to tell from the pictures but does the bit that's come away look sort of clearish? Kind of like a husk? If so this is normal, she's just shedding the outer layer of claw. If you have a cat scratcher it will probably come off next time she scratches her feet. If the actual nail is split I would get it checked. You don't want an infection.

Thank you. It's just the clearing part, no pink part.

No problem. If it's just the husky bit that's normal :) You can probably give it a small tug and it will likely come off but they do get them off themselves either by chewing or using a scratcher.
