I would suggest an enamel trim paint. They are designed to avoid making the shelves sticky. Oil is harder to work with than water based. Practice first :)

Yeah, I've kind of narrowed it down to something like this: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/products/emerald-urethane-trim-enamel

Yeah, that'll work great. Benjamin Moore makes a similar one that a lot of folks here swear by. I've used Behr's comparable product (shhh, reddit hates Behr), and gotten fine results. The trim enamel dries hard with no tack. Follow the drying instructions, don't overbrush or coat too thick, and you'll be fine.
