Hmmm, best in this case, is subjective as it is a visual picture being drawn in the minds of the readers. It just depends on what the writer intends and how the readers interpret. In my view, polish and glitter would not work as they just do not fit with water. Here is my personal preference for the others:
1 - sparkling
2 - glistening
3 - shimmering (although I like the sound of shimmery blue color better than shimmering)

I would use 'sparkling'.
