Default Mitre tiles round external corner?

Hi,

Just trying to work out the best way to run round a corner...

One corner is tiled to the ceiling (bath) and may have whole uncut tiles
upto the edge.

Tiles unfortunately are only part glazed on the edge or I'd just do a butt
join.

The adjoining wall is only tiled half way up (sink) with paint above.

Would a good way to do this be to cut the tiles that must be cut, with a 45
degree bevel so that the tile edge comes level with the face of the tiles
on the bath side, then grout in?

I have a wet cutter.

Like:


Bath
Whole tile ---- Grout just into this gap, flat
======== |
======== ||
========|||
||| Sink, cut tile
|||
|||



Or would this work better:

Bath
Whole tile ---- Grout just into this gap at 45 degrees
========
======== |
======== ||
||| Sink, cut tile
|||
|||
