Go all the way and use some cheap cotton gloves over some nitrile gloves.

I think the nitrile not absorbing the stain is part of the point.

On top of, not instead of

Or rather, instead of the socks 😆

and keeping the stain from absorbing into your skin.

I've found the sock works even better. You can wiggle it around to expose less-coated areas, curl your fingers down and expose more area closer to the top of the sock to absorb/spread more stain, and getting the sock off of the nitrile is easier. Plus old socks are free! The reason I specified nitrile instead of latex for the base glove is to help resist the stain. Latex will start to allow some stains to bleed through. I use 5 mil nitriles, and they're great.
