Usage of neither/nor vs none
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Which is the correct option between these two lines?
1) But none of your obnoxiousness or charm
2) But neither of your obnoxiousness nor charm
I'm writing a poem for somebody and am currently confused between the two choices. English is obviously not my native language so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Both are grammatical and mean the same thing, but only if you eliminate "of" in the second. I started to add this answer, but someone else (i.e., @Hugh) got it in before me, so I never actually posted it but just gave his answer an up-vote.

The first suggestion is fine:
1) But none of your obnoxiousness or charm
The second example needs a bit of unpicking:
2) But neither of your...
excludes two similar features/ objects/ people. "Neither of your shoes is a good fit;" "Neither of your brothers are as clever as you."
It is better to leave out the 'or.'
2) But neither your obnoxiousness nor charm...
