If I use a base coat on my nails will it make my nail polish chip faster? Or should I just skip that process?...

Always use a base coat. It helps for a snooth application.

I agree with Stephanie it will give you a smoother application and also protect your nails so the polish isn't going directly onto your nail.

Always use a basecoat! Because some nail polishes leave stains in the nails so its good if you use a base coat to protect your nails.
