HELP ME!!!!

I'm making an apple alphabet for Little Man's room using wooden apples bought from a craft site. I've painted them with poster paints and they dried brilliantly - 2 coats of each colour. Now all I have to do is varnish them. DISASTER! I bought clear, interior varnish and began on z - the paint brush started turning pink from the red paint underneath and the black of the z is starting to run. Any suggestions of varnish I can use???

I used Daler Rowney Poster and Water Colour Varnish (thats what it says on it lol) that I got for about £6. It worked well for me.

I got it from an art shop, but I just googled it and you can get it on line too.
