No you are working a different muscle group in your bicep.

There's different types of failure, I'd say. There's drop sets (doing x amount of reps on a weight, make the weight 10% lighter and doing x amount of reps again...and so on and so on), there's failure with a rep and then partial reps (use less plain of movement) until you can't do no more.
With you biceps, there's 2 different muscles - as the name implies - and those 2 exercises work different muscles at a time, or should I say more emphasis.
You can increase your rest period, if you're tiring...and, of course, use correct form when doing the exercises.
The best way to see whatever works for you is to try it.
Remember to warm up first...

You might have a nicer experience finishing eachbset 2-3 lifts before failure. That way you can do more weight over time without burning yourself out.
That way you can do more like 50 reps in a week, 10 per session for 5 days rather then 39 reps, 13 reps over 3 days in a week.
burnout is not lovely.
As well I found going to failure each session is more mentally taxing and I need my mental energy for work. I can't let work or exercise compromise each other.
