Can I paint over freshly varnished paint, to create a sponge effect, and then varnish again to seal it in?

I am doing a book shelf. I already painted it, sponged on some paint and then varnished. I am not sure I like the finish so I want to improve it with just a little dab her and there. Can I do this without sanding etc if I plan to varnish again?Can I paint over freshly varnished paint, to create a sponge effect, and then varnish again to seal it in?
Yes, you can. No doubt you want to avoid sanding just the spots you're going to dab on, and you don't have to if the whole thing will be varnished again on top of the dabs.
