Oil and water do not mix, gloss paints are oil based paints therefore water does not dilute (dissolve) them.

What is the difference from base paint and semi gloss latex paint?

Base paint is also known as flat paint, or flat wall paint, or matt paint and is a latex paint. Flat paint is just that, flat or dull with no sheen at all. Semi-gloss is an enamel that dries very hard and can be found in a low sheen (satin) a medium sheen (semi-gloss) and a high sheen (high gloss) Flat paint is usually used on walls and ceilings where as semi-gloss is used in kitchens, bathrooms, doors an jambs because it helps hold back the inherent moisture in those areas.

Is semi gloss paint okay for a bedroom?

At one time paint only came in a limited gloss range, flat, semi-gloss and high-gloss. The higher the gloss factor the harder the paint... the harder the paint the more washable it is. People used to only use high gloss or semi-gloss in kitchens and bathrooms so they could keep the rooms cleaner. These days, with the availability of a wider selection of gloss finishes and the tendency for people to paint more frequently, it is no long essential to use semi-gloss in your kitchen. I have been using a pearl luster paint successfully in kitchen for more than ten years with very good results.

Why your semi gloss paint will not stick to the wall?

Semi-gloss paint sometimes has problem sticking to walls that have a higher gloss paint type already on them. Usually, a light sanding and a coat of primer will help. Sometimes, semi-gloss paint peels if it was applied during high-humidity weather, as it doesn't dry all the way through.
