i want to do a mosaic on my bath room counter which is formica. will the mud base used for tile stick to formica? is there an alternative or is it a lost cause?

Scratch the formica up really well with sandpaper. This will help the adheasive adhere. Use a premixed tile adheasive. I use Mapei Premix thinset adhesive. Wait a day then use a nonsanded grout.
