I think your last line is reverting your changes, try this:

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarStyle(UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent, animated: true)
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        var nav = self.navigationController?.navigationBar
        nav?.barStyle = UIBarStyle.Black
        nav?.tintColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
        nav?.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()]
    }
