Can someone explain the specific difference between /var/run/current-system/sw/X and $HOME/.nix-profile/X paths?

I had assumed the former was only the tools involved in the XXX-system.drv (from /etc/nix/configuration.nix) and that the latter was the superset of that and anything I'd added to my user's profile via nix-env -i but I'm not sure if that's correct.
