12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge - Day 1

I saw this challenge floating around facebook and after reposting it on my page I was contacted by the creator.

I've never done a full challenge like this before and I'm really looking forward to it.  I like that I don't have to do my nails everyday.  I'm sure my cuticles wouldn't be very happy.
I don't know how I'm going to pull off some of these but I'm giving it a shot anyway.
So today was Day 1 and this is what I did:

This is Julep's Ellen for the red and Pure Ice's Treasure Hunt for the green glitter gradient.  I just left out the diamonds that are in the bottle.  Not bad for my first one and I did pretty decent on the clean-up this time (getting better :)).
