Anyone still use their opaque stamper?

Inspired by all the conversation in the hard to pick up plate thread, I have a question. Do any of you still use an opaque stamper and why?

For me, I like the easier cleanup of just using acetone on everything. Also, I have such small nails that placement just isn't a concern. As long as I position the stamper correctly, I will get the full design on my nail.

Neon leopard

Used the Dipping Dots yellow and green. The green was super sheer, I layered it over white. Middle finger has a break I couldn't cover.

Orly Vintage manicure

Orly Vintage with stamping on Opi My First Knockwurst. It really didn't come out like I wanted so I only wore it a few days.

My 4th of July mani

Unnamed NCLA red, SH peeps white, and OPI Eurso Euro.

Included my right hand because I tried out a stamp that I didn't like on the pinky. It turned out too white for me, obscuring the blue. What do y'all think of it?

My pride manicure

Used Opi Bubble Bath as a base, then a Sally Hansen pride set for the colors. Except for the blue, which is Opi Eurso Euro. The SH wasnt opaque enough.

Teal advanced stamping

Inspired by Kelli Marissa. The teal is China Glaze Four Leaf Clover, I know it doesn't photograph super accurately.

neon look

The colors are neon irl but I don't think the photos show it. As usual, I have sunlight and shade photos. I also played with different techniques on my thumbs.

Pink roses

Which stamp do you prefer? It's the rounded ones on my left hand for me. I love them all, it's a great little plate from when Born pretty still did those. I have about 10 variations of rose designs across my plate collection, so I was really happy with this manicure.

My latest manicure.

As usual for me it's both hands, in the sun and shade. As usual for everyone, the holo glitter goodness doesn't actually photograph well. Believe me, the gold glitter with holo was super beautiful in the sun.

Max Factor Fantasy Fire?

I didn't have it but I remember it caused quite a stir for a while. My question is: was it an England exclusive thing, a Europe exclusive thing or something else? I for sure remember that OPI Spotted was a French exclusive, so my lacquerhead brain does retain some facts, lol.
