Which comes first DNS or name servers?

Which comes first? DNS or nameservers?
Its just I'm editing a domain and want to point it to different hosting servers. Now, normally I'd just set the nameservers to the new hosting nameservers, but this doesn't seem to be working (the control panels not brilliant - doesn't say "accepted" or "success" - and whois searches are turning up nothing - although I should leave it a while longer).
Anyway - the point is, in the DNS records there are two A records (one for " " and one for "www") which have an ip address associated with them.
So this is what I don't understand. If I change the nameservers, do I have to remove the DNS records? Will name servers "overwrite" a DNS record? Or vice versa?
Thank you.
