would it be safe to put 3 drawf gouramis in a 10 gallon, 1 regular drawf, 1 powder blue, and 1 blush?

IMO you're be overstocked with 3 Dwarf Gourami in 10 gal.
Small tanks ae more difficult to be kept than large ones.

20 gallon would be better, and add some corys.

A 10g can be hard to manage and keep all the conditions correct for the 3 drawf gouramis.

You have not mentioned your filtration, airation, plants.

I will say yes providing you are confidient you can manage the tank.
Also you will require plenty of plants including stem plants and floating plants these will help in keeping the tank safe as far as nitrates.
A good filtration system is a must I am running a Eheim Bioball in my 10g with a small Rena pump.
Still cycling at the moment.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Ive also heard that males tend to not get along. I would be careful to have only one male in the tank. However females are very hard to come by in LFS as they are less colorful.

I would only add one male as they can sometimes fight. A ten gallon would not give them enough hiding places and they tend to be territorial.
I have one powder blue male, with four glow lights, three head and tail lights and one otto in my ten gallon (with live plants). They get along fine.
