Are you using a cheap or poor quality paint? I would always give any new plaster a mist coat followed by 2 or sometimes even 3 full coats, cutting in after the mist coat. Hope this helps!

Factors that may influence your lines, perhaps the paint needs a good stir, also ensure your brush is clean prior to painting, always try to use the best quality paints, not only do they last but they cover better.

Try lightly sanding in a circular motion the edges of where the cutting in finishes, the cutting in must have dried leaving a thick edge of paint on it, then wipe it over to remove the dust and paint over try just the joining line using a baby roller, but as above mist coat first (watered down paint) all new plaster for future reference.
