Hot pink lip glosses are a summertime must have [1]. They're flirtier than a classic red [2] and pack more punch than a pastel [3]. Plus, they match all of this season's trendiest neon pink nail polishes [4]. If you're willing to try wearing a bright and daring hot pink pout [5], below are five of my favorites for you to check out! (I'm a poet and didn't know it.)

• Sephora Brand Ultra-Shine Lip Gloss in Hot Pink [6] ($15) is a semi-sheer, shimmery gloss with a sweet taste that glides on smooth and has a doe-foot applicator.
• Trish McEvoy Beauty Booster Gloss in Brighten Pink [7] ($25) is a sugary, sheer yet bright and smooth gloss that doesn't have an overbearing, synthetic scent.
• Stila It Gloss in Smashing [8] ($18) is a creamy, not too bright punch of pink gloss that goes on more opaque than their famous click glosses [9], but is more sheer than a lipstick.
• Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Pink Popsicle [10] ($19) is a bright pink shade that doesn't contain any shimmer. This gloss creates tons of shine, but the only drawback is the icky sticky factor (just warning you). It was a limited-edition color, but I've found some in stock [11] if you act fast!
• Lancome Color Fever Lip Gloss in Volcanic Pink [12] ($23) is by far the brightest and boldest pink I've ever worn. And although it looks shocking in the tube it goes on quite sheer. I like to pair it with a champagne shadow [13] and black liquid eyeliner.
