I am a native English speaker.

I think the better way is to say “ I wish you nothing but the best”.

It says a lot, however, it is better to say 'Wishing you nothing more than the best of everything in all your endeavors.

"I wish you all the best" would be more widely accepted internationally. In many different cultures around the world dialogue and slangs differ from country to country. In Northern Ireland I experienced the ellipsis of "All the best" while in Australia I encountered "I wish you nothing but the best". So I really think it doesn't matter to much the recipient with know you are wishing them well. Great use of form and sentence structure. If you would like to contact me I have great material for Idioms.

You can say, "I only wish you the best."

Saying "I wish you nothing more than the best" has a negative meaning; it suggests you want the best or less than the best for someone. "I wish you nothing but the best" means you want the best for that person and nothing else.

You can say “wishing you nothing but the best”, or simply say “wishing you all the best”.
