All i've ever done after plastering is 50/50 water/emulsion wash coat then normal coats of white trade matt on top. I normally end up doing two further white coats on the walls before colour, and 3 white coats on the ceiling.

There is proper stuff like this that allows the plaster to breathe/dry if you have to paint before it is fully dried:

But its expensive and if you're not rushed, let it dry out properly before paint!
