Envidioso celoso

In English, there is a difference between the two adjectives. The word jealous
is a negative term. Someone can kill someone in an act of jealousy. Envious is a milder emotion. A friend may envy another friend for winning the lottery. Is this then same in Spanish?

Also, I know that envidia is a noun form of envidioso, but I am not sure there is a noun version of celoso. Celosia has a different meaning.
