Shrinky Dinks

I made a few rings out of shrinky dinks (I'll give you guys a how-to later today hehe)
And I used sharpies to colour on the plastic with. when I wear the ring the ink rubbed off on my finger some... I used some clean nail polish to try and stop that but it kinda ruined the ink. Is there anything else I could maybe do to make the ink last longer?

Some kind of spray sealant? I don't know much about them, I just know you can get them haha. You might end up with the same problem though :\
