My recommended buying list for a new painter is:
Tools
Sprays
○ Grey is standard, white if you're painting a majority of light colors, and black if the majority is dark.
Brushes
○ Round 0
○ Round 1
○ Round 2
All in all it should be around $60 USD for the tools and about $40 USD for the brushes. However, this list gives you every tool you will need to get started and to continue with the hobby.
This is just what I like to have on hand, this does not reflect the "perfect list". I hope it helps :)
Nice work! I, too, started painting minis with Gloomhaven.
Don't try and seal them with clear nail polish, like an idiot I know. Get a spray can of Army Painter or something.
They might last longer than you think, but if you are looking to add some protection, just use something like this
Army Painter Matte Spray Varnish is what I use.
It's actually great to use on top of Gloss Varnish, since the gloss goes on thicker and does a good job of protecting the mini.
Matte on top of gloss will appear matte.

After you paint minis that you intend to play with it’s a good idea to seal them with varnish. It protects the paint job otherwise you can start to wear it down over time.
Generally, matte varnish is best unless you want really shiny - take a look at the army painter spray here:

The reason you want to do it before basing them is the varnish will cloud up the clear base, so you want to get them all finished before re-basing them.
Hope this helps!
