Varnish for lino?

Hi I know this may sound like an odd question but what is the best "clear" varnish to paint over lino?

I have lino that is suppose to resemble wood flooring but it looks terrible and fake and I want to paint some oak wood effect paint over it to darken it up but the only problem is that it would ware off very quickly so I will need a good clear varnish to put over it to protect it. I understand that it would be easier to tear it up and replace it with new flooring but I can't afford it so I'm trying to do this the cheapest possible way.

Thanks

    There isn't any that will not make it worse. Varnish is not suitable for use on linoleum.
