Is there any diferance between saying "it isn't ..." or "it's not ..." ?
Maybe some nuance of meaning?
Which sounds better, for example:
It isn't mine. / It's not mine.
A pet isn't a toy. / A pet is not a toy.
Your pressure is low, but it isn't cause for concern. / but it's not cause for concern.
Or some other examples...

They are exactly the same. The only reason you might choose "is not" is if you want to really emphasize the "not" (e.g., a mother telling her child, "This is NOT a toy!").

It is the same when it comes to the meaning.
"isn't" is a contraction..the shortened form of "is not"
Like Brad C said.. you can say "is not" to emphasize the "not."
You can say either, it is perfectly fine.
-Other examples:
Do not = Don't
She will = She'll
She is = She's
We have = we've
I am = I'm
Has not = Hasn't
Will not = Won't
-Sentence Example:
She said she'll drop off the money after she's done at her friends house.
She said she will drop off the money after she is done at her friends house.
Good Luck
