What's the colour of the varnish? There's usually a slight tint to it - in traditional varnishes this is an amber colour, but sometimes (and I've noticed this mostly in water based or non-yellowing* formulas) it comes in a slight blue colour cast.
I've never really had a nice experience with water based finishes - the few times I've tried them, it's been "oh dear" time and I've taken them straight off. (This just continues my philosophy that if a product makes eco-friendly claims, it's because it's rubbish in its main performance areas! Lead free solder? Rubbish! Environmental Paint Stripper? Rubbish! Water based varnish? Rubbish!)
*Why doesn't it yellow? Because it has a blue tint!

so after redoing the top coat a few times I'm happy with this end results. I wish I had a larger selection for aerosol top coat (only one) I'm sure the one I used wasn't the best and after half the can was empty the quality of the spray deteriorated.

and to glossy of a finish for a satin finish in my opinion.

Protip. Drop the spray can in hot (50-70 degree C) water for 15 minutes before spraying.
You can knock the gloss level down with 0000 steel wool or a grey or maroon scotchbrite pad.
