Check also the plaster wasn't polished too much by plasterer. If it was no amount of watered down paint will help. the plaster needs rubbing down to allow paint to stick

You need to water your paint down much more so it almost just like a milky liquid. This will then seal the plaster, it should dry very quickly.. I hope this will be successful for you, good luck. M&G decorating service..
