Many of the Glamour system questions have been answered in the LIVE letter: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/152555%3E
Judging by the screenshots and the text, it looks like you buy one prism for each item whose appearance you want to replicate. When you replicate an item's appearance onto the prism, the item is unaffected and can be given to your retainer for storage. When you want to apply the glamour, you right-click on the item slot, pick the appropriate menu option, select the item whose appearance you want to change, then select the glamour prism you want to use. You can glamour an item to any appearance so long as the source equipment is equippable by your job and uses the same number of slots, so alas, no sword-wielding Black Mages, it seems.
There's also an item level restriction on the application of glamours, but I'm not entirely sure what it means given the examples provided.
What we still don't know is if glamour prisms are consumed by use or not, if they take up inventory slots, if the effect is a duration-based one or permanent, how glamours will interact with gear sets, and how much they'll cost to craft. Given the UI for it, I assume it works a lot like dyeing (you basically "dye" an item with a new appearance), but we could always be surprised with what we get.
