Nationality is where you are from originally. Citizenship is where you reside now and have legal status in that country.

There is no single international definition of nationality or citizenship although the term "citizenship" is more commonly used in legal documents to refer to the legal status of citizens. In most countries the two terms are legally coterminous or almost so. In general usage nationality often refers to the status of a nation's people whereas citizenship refers to the participation of the people in the nation.

Nationality is a person who belongs to a nation or group of countries while citizenship confers an identity to a specific state.
Nationality is more general while citizenship is more specific.
