Having just had three living room walls skimmed and will be painting them soon I noted that Screwfix sells a No Nonsense Bare Plaster paint ...I know that the norm is using a thin coat of emulsion first but I was wondering if anyone has used this stuff and what the thoughts were ..is this a better option . It's white emulsion I would be using anyway . Certainly the reviews listed suggest it meets with most users approval. http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-trade-bare-plaster-paint-brilliant-white-10ltr/51004
Oink ....will do .. Also discovered today you can get Corner Rollers ..might try one of them as well.

If you are looking for a professional finish alkyd primer sealer is a must, BECAUSE. Although new plaster can be primed with latex sealer, it is recommended that large plaster surfaces be primed with a properly formulated alkyd wall primer & sealer. Latex does not penetrate the plaster surface and if the plaster is powdery, over-trowelled, or if the plaster mix isn't quite right, poor adhesion of the latex can result. But, whichever you choose, alkyd or latex, the moisture content of the plaster must be below 14% prior to painting or failure can result. And it is also good at holding back salt stains.
