My criticism was supposed to be constructive, apologies if it came across negative, when you said plastering was easy I had high expectation!
I had a quick look at the Artex stuff, I would sack off the tools they throw in and use a cheap proper trowel. The solid metal beading is much much easier to get straight and level and is great to skim against. PVA isn't cowboy, I pva everything except plasterboard before plastering, I'll PVA bonding plaster before finishing plaster too, it stops the moisture getting sucked out.
At the end of the day props for getting stuck in, I'm sure you'll be happy with the result, it might just take a fair bit of sanding time which sucks balls.

It's Artex Easifix one coat... sanded ok this morning, defo not as rough as the base stuff the guys who did my bathroom used... the colour in that photo isn't really correct, my floorboards make the temp of any pic I take in my flat go crazy red so I neutralised it in PS as I hate overly red hues.
