1, Either the Artex wasn't dry enough before you painted it.
2, Artex is quite soft and very powdery. You should seal it with a thin coat of emulsion first.
3, The B&Q emulsion is s**te.

I had this problem, I painted the ceiling with a roller using a 50-50 mix of water and pva and then repainted. Still looks fine after a year.
