Yes, Guttersnipe will trigger. A spell is officially "cast" after you've completely finished putting it onto the stack, making all the necessary choices, and paying its costs. This is when Guttersnipe triggers and it doesn't matter whether or not the spell actually ends up resolving. If you choose to respond to the spell by activating Nivmagus Elemental, it has no effect on Guttersnipe's trigger.
