I went to JPL yesterday to see them put the mobility model for MSL through its paces. It is HUGE!

Lots of pictures and video posted at http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001010/

I have the pictures (but not the video) at twice the resolution if anyone needs them for artistic purposes.

Oh, I imagine the nail polish would work fine on Mars. The toes themselves, of course, would puff up and start bleeding from underneath the nails... but the polish would survive just fine.
