I'd try a spray sealant like Alchemy Jewelry Sealer. Nail polish would likely break down the marker and make it show the rust again.
I actually HATE Mod Podge and think it causes more problems than solutions and use it only for one special technique, otherwise I find spray sealants appropriate to the job are preferred. But that's just my opinion.
