In 2016, Sinful Colors partnered with Kylie Jenner to launch a nail polish collection.[7] In 2018, the brand partnered with Vanessa Hudgens to create a nail polish collection, and named her Global Color Collaborator of Sinful Colors.[8][9]

In 2020, they came out a new product called the CLAWS. It is a Japanese beauty-inspired, limited-edition collection with press-on nails featuring Bebe Rexha’s designs.[10]

They also came out with a sneaker-inspired collection with neon shades and a rubber-like matte finish.[11] They are sold at Target.

The Sinful Colors Sweet and Salty collection was released in 2020. It was inspired by snack foods, including tacos, cheese puffs, and donuts.[12] The final Sinful Colors collections were Essenchills--a scented line inspired by self-care--released in early 2021, and Candy Wonderland--inspired by holiday sweets and desserts--released for the 2021 holiday season.

On June 16, 2022, Revlon--Sinful Colors' parent company--filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[13]
