Nice= 1 pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory. It was a nice meal.
2 good-natured; kind. She is a nice person.
3 fine or subtle: a nice distinction.
5 archaic fastidious. He was very nice in his manners.


Kind = 1 considerate and generous. It was kind of him to give you that car.
2 affectionate; loving. She is a kind mother.

I'd add that 'nice and ...' can be used to reinforce most adjectives/adverbs: 'Put the gun down, nice and slow[ly].' So the title of this thread is a possible collocation. 'I don't know why she's frightened of me - we've only met once, and I was nice and kind' [which doesn't mean 'both nice and kind', but 'kind in a way that most people would regard as nice'].
