Plastering outward facing corners?

Basically just trying to find out what the tried and tested technique is for this as I can't get mine right, I have been endeavouring to teach myself to skim coat on the walls in the spare bedroom and my technique is coming along but there are old alcoves with outward facing corners, now these were rounded so I attached plastic cornering and I'm trying to plaster over this to a nice 90 degree angle but I just cant get it right. ANy tips??

Use corner beads as above, or get yourself an external corner trowel which will form the 90 degree edges for you.0

Cheers, got some corner beads, have made a mess of that alcove now though, my own fault for jumping straight in.0
