I painted my hallway and it looks absolutely terrible, I really messed it up good. It doesn't look too bad when looking at it face on but, when the sun is shining down the hallway, it looks terrible as you can see in the photos. It really does depend on the light as to how bad it looks, but I'm really unhappy with it and would like to fix it.
I used Dulux once Jasmine White and I used a Harris Trade Micropoly 9" x 1.75" roller sleeve.
I'm wondering how I can fix it? I'm not sure if I should paint over it, or sand all the paint off, water the paint down next time to make it easier to work with?
Honestly, I have read about it so much, and thought about it so much, over the last few days that I don't know what the answer is!
Hopefully someone can help me.

If you're sure the wall itself is flat and there's no major paint drips/lines on it, you could try another coat on one of the walls and see if that makes a difference. I can't really tell if there is just a difference in sheen on your walls or if there are surface issues.
Also, The less shiny the paint, the less obvious the imperfections when light hits it.
I wouldn't ever try sanding wall paint. Depending on the paint, it can peel off like a sunburn from the heat of the friction if there are drip lines. If there's major surface issues, you could mud over it and sand it down to re-smooth wall. I also personally wouldn't water down the paint.
Just my opinion... we'll see what others say. ;)
