I re-edit the thread and keep it short. I used both Valejjo and Lifecolor varnishes on 2 separated models but the paint still can be pilled off with my nail= Can someone guide me and help me where I am doing wrong? Maybe the problem is that those varnishes are for airbrush and I am using a simple hand brush. I've waited 1 hour, but I guess I have to wait 24H or even Days so the paint below the varnish can be fully protected?

Anyone can help?

Are you washing your models first?
Are your priming your models?
Most varnishes meant for spraying should NOT be used with a brush. Which specific Vallejo and Lifecolor Varnishes are you using?

Wait longer. There's a huge difference between drying and curing, and paint that is dry but not cured is still very vulnerable to damage.

Well my models were painted half and year ago :(
Maybe I have to wait or the varnishes I use are for airbrush.
Can someone let me know if this product can be used with normal hairbrush:
