where is the vanity?
I'm assuming it's in the washroom. So can you just replace it are you handy and can you replace faucet as well? If not people on this site have painted their vanities.
I redid one with Giani countertop paint. It worked out very well and is holding up nicely.

I had the same issue, only PINK formica. As a stop gap till I decided what I wanted, I just sanded the counter and tiled the top around the sink (I knew I would replace the entire thing). It worked for a few years until I replaced the entire top, sink and faucet with new products.
There is a product designed for this exact thing. Ask someone at your local hardware/home supply store. Check out youtube.com for video instructions.
I bought a house with blue formica in the kitchen once. Didn't have a budget for replacing, so instead painted the kitchen cabinets white (the previous owner had painted them pink! ). Mixed in some yellow pops of color and it looked good.
