Student Edition or LifeLike?
Same Purpose. Two Different Finishes.
Every Aleana practice model is created for one fundamental purpose: professional nail practice.
The difference between Student Edition and LifeLike isn't what you can practise.
It's primarily about the level of visual finish and realism you want from your model.
STUDENT EDITION
Practice Comes First.
Student Edition is our streamlined professional training range.
These models feature a one-colour silicone finish, without the detailed external LifeLike colouring used to recreate the visual complexity of real human skin.
That makes Student Edition ideal when your priority is technique, repetition and everyday training rather than photographic realism.
Choose Student Edition if:
- You're learning or developing techniques.
- You practise frequently.
- You're building a training setup on a lower budget.
- Visual skin realism isn't your priority.
- You want a professional silicone model primarily for practice.
Professional practice. Simplified finish.
LIFELIKE
When Realism Matters.
LifeLike models take Aleana realism further.
Each model is individually finished by hand in our Lisbon atelier, with external colouring and subtle visual details designed to recreate the appearance of real skin.
Choose LifeLike if:
- You want maximum visual realism.
- You create nail photography or video.
- You produce social media content.
- You teach or demonstrate professionally.
- You want your finished nail work presented on a highly realistic model.
Professional practice meets LifeLike presentation.
The easiest way to decide?
If your priority is PRACTICE → Student Edition.
If your priority is PRACTICE + REALISTIC PRESENTATION → LifeLike.
And if you're still learning but also create content? There is nothing wrong with choosing LifeLike from day one.
It's not about your level. It's about what you want from your model.
