Things also might get muddy when it rains since the water won't be able to leach into the soil. If you want to hide the mulch then you may consider a fabric mulch.

So sorry for this dumb question. Can you lay down a light layer of soil on top of the plastic mulch? The purpose would be to hide the mulch. I am complete newbie to gardening.

I've used a thicker and thinner type--the thinner is easier to work with, and you don't actually have to cut in holes to plant a plant, just dig in the trowel. Still seems to hold up well.
