I'm a 40-year-old lady who has always despised her teeth. Overcrowding has caused my two upper central incisors to grow inwards, while one of the top layer incisors has grown outwards and pushed them back. I've seen numerous orthodontists and they've suggested braces. I want a quick natural looking beautiful smile, therefore my question is whether crowns for the front teeth are even attainable?

That is the issue with the crown. I think due to some error during cementation (if the crown is prepared properly in the lab). Normally that results in a gap in the cervical area and no proper proximal contacts.
Try looking at the Lumen shade guide and select A1 or D2. Both of these are brighter natural shades but it depends on your complexion and personal taste. Remember, everyone sees color slightly differently, but in the end, the only person you have to really please is yourself.
Implant treatment is a more long lasting treatment. Post and crown is an option however it is not as strong as an implant. I recommend you to have your tooth extracted and an implant to be placed.
