LOL, just had to say that anyone who would immediately assume you are a bad mother b/c your 2 year old got into something obviously doesn't have children!.!.!.or any grasp of reality!.!.!.
Second, try the warm water and blunt objest, or just let it flake off!. Solvents that you can buy to dissolve the glue might be irritatintg to the skin of a toddler!. Don't feel bad, my now 8 year old climbed onto my desk while I was showering and "decorated" herself head to toe with permanent markers!.!.!.!.(she had been asleep) gotta love kids!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can buy superglue dissolver in places like Homebase!. Otherwise, as long as her fingers are not stuck together, you can just leave it!. It'll flake off in a couple of days anyway!. I used superglue to stick a bad cut on my thumb, and after about 3 days it gradually fell off (the glue not the thumb :P)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Just leave it, a babies skin is very soft and her natural oils will break the bond!.
You'll be able to peel it off tomorrow, so if it's not hurting her don't worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Warm water and a BLUNT knife should encourage the flaking in the previous answer!. I believe that casualty departments use warm water and a blunt knife to gently prise apart stuck together fingers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
run the two fingers under hot water then roll a pen or pencil throught the fingers that should get the two fingers to pull apart easy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't feel bad about your daughter getting into the glue!. things like this happen! it's just part of being a parent and having kids! it's not like you were letting her play by herself in the middle of the street!. anybody who has kids knows you're not a bad parent just because your daughter got into some glue!.
one time my daughter swallowed a couple clasps to the backs of my earrings!. i was sitting at my vanity doing my hair, and she opened the drawer with the earrings!. she grabbed a handful of the backs to my earrings, stuck them in her mouth, and swallowed them!. i tried to grab them out of her hand, but she was quicker than i was!. when i told her to spit them out, she smiled really big, and GULP! they were gone! she was fine, she pooped them out the next day, but gosh did i feel like a bad mom! i probablly should have had them where she could not get to them, but i had never seen her put anything in her mouth like that before, and she had never gotten into my vanity before, so i didn't think it was a problem!. she suprised me that day!Www@Answer-Health@Com
