Well, the issue with varnishing so soon is that the paint will "eat the varnish". The paint will cross-link with the varnish and the two will become almost inseperable. This means that there is a risk that the varnish layer will yellow and be very difficult to remove because the lower layers of the varnish will have fused with the top layers of the paint.
