I want to paint on our old formica back splash but would like to know what kind out paint would I need to have my pattern stay on the shiny formica and not slide off.
They make kits to achieve a new look. Check out your local big box store.

Are you talking about a textured pattern? From the photo it only appears to be just speckles in the Formica. If that is what it is, they will be covered up by the primer and paint you would need to use. On the other hand, if it is a texture, the paint should not alter it.
Would not recommend paint. It does not stand up to every day use. Try someting more permanent... https://www.thespruce.com/the-five-best-diy-countertop-refinishing-kits-3955792
