Being a new homeowner, we decided to put some Anti-Damp paint into the corners of the living room (very slight damp)- as a temp "fix" until we get it properly sorted.

We applied it a couple of days ago and then painted over it yesterday and today it's dripping wet! Literally the new paint is dripping off the walls.

What can I do to sort this?
 
Get the source of the damp resolved rather than trying to bodge it, it'll only bite you in the arse if you don't
 
Sounds a bit magic, it's probably condensation caused by the wall being cold and the air being damp.
Make sure you use the cooker/shower extractors plenty, and don't dry any clothes inside. Also open allall wind for a short period every day.
 
You sealed the wall, worst thing you can do for damp, do you know the cause, how about some pics outside the wall, close and distant shots ideally..
 
Anti-damp paint? Did you buy it from the same place I got my thermal paint from?
