Here's a breakdown:
* Second to nothing: This implies that something is superior to everything else, leaving nothing else that comes close.
* Second to none: This emphasizes that there is no one or nothing better than what is being described.
Examples:
* "Her dedication to her work is second to nothing." (Means she is the most dedicated person.)
* "Their new product is second to none in the market." (Means it is the best product available.)
Note: While both expressions convey the same meaning, "second to none" is slightly more common and sounds a bit more formal.
