anytime you place paint in areas where there is moisture like baths you need to read the info on the gold leaf you plan to use or go to youtube.com

You could also faux paint the gold leaf ceiling using Rustoleum's Metallic paints in 2 shades... https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-Metallic-253611-Decorative-32-Ounce/dp/B003EELN14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514669004&sr=8-1&keywords=Rustoleum%2BMetallic%2Bpaint&th=1

if you like that real bright gold... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQHEDOA/ref=psdc_13399641_t3_B003EELN14

and if you like the look of the squares, you can use a box brush to achieve that... http://www.diynetwork.com/videos/gold-leaf-faux-finish-99614

Then no need to varnish.
