How: craft glue. The kind that is white and dries down clear and tacky. Dilute it with water and paint it on your nails. I have mine pretty liquidy. Let it dry down until it's clear then smooth the stickers on.
You can also use that kind of glue for nail transfer foils. Just don't dilute it down as much.
I've tried using sticky base coats for stickers but it doesn't work as well, especially for the embossed/3D stickers that are a bit thicker.
What's on my nail?
