Help! Newly skimmed ceiling unpaintable...

[Jakestar]

Having a bit of nightmare with the lounge ceiling, consider this a bit of a cry for help on the off chance anyone has a solution!

Decorating the lounge and the cowling is turning out to be a right PITA. I'm not new to painting fresh plaster (must cost etc) and every other room in the house has been fine (the lounge is the last room to be done). However any paint I roll onto the ceiling drys with awful roller marks etc - it's like the paint doesn't stick or something (picture below).

I've now tried 3 different paints (johnstones vinyl Matt, johnstones normal Matt, deluxe supermatt) and the end fruit is the same!!!

I ever tried rolling some vinsser stain cover - but alas no improvement...

Any ideas what I can do to give the curling some kind of decent finish?

On the mobile, which seems to decide how it wants to spell rather than what I type!

What dilution factor? Never had to pva new plaster before.

To confirm - the paint isn't peeling and I did apply 1 mist coat 50/50 diluted emulsion with water before I started on the neat coats (as I have on all other walls and ceilings I've done in the house!).

So more mist coats needed with gradually building up the paint/water mix?
