I'm tiling half way up my bathroom wall and the tile I'm using is a slate tile. There's no bullnose end piece for these. How can I finish the edge without a bullnose?

They make a metal edge restraint jsut for that purpose. Menards has them.

Some stone places will profile them, but it is expensive ($8 to $10 per lin ft). Looks way better than a metal or plastic cap. If it was me, I would do this, or just leave a raw edge and caulk + seal
I would recommend using a schluter product. This is what we typically see in commercial and residential(contractor built) projects. They have a bunch of different profiles. I believe you can get it at any tile/stone shop that isn't a big box store.

This is also the same stuff I had my dad install over the summer when we retiled his entry/guest bathroom. Some of their product is expensive, but I don't think the trims are that bad and they look great!
I believe for the trim you are wanting, you would want the Rondec-DB profile.

If you have a wet saw you can get a blade that makes edge not sure if you can rent one, or you can use schluter.
didn't know that, but it's a slate tile and i'm sure it would splinter and i doubt i'd be able to get a good edge at all.
you could just use some sandpaper to polish the edge of slate. start with 120 or 220 grit with a little water and work your way up to 500 grit. just try on a scrap piece, you might get lucky. may be the cheapest option at a few dollars.
