Opposite of dropna() in pandas

I have a pandas DataFrame that I want to separate into observations for which there are no missing values and observations with missing values. I can use dropna() to get rows without missing values. Is there any analog to get rows with missing values? 

#Example DataFrame
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': [1,np.nan,3,4,5],'col2': [6,7,np.nan,9,10],})

#Get observations without missing values
df.dropna()
pandas python

Check null by row and filter with boolean indexing:

df[df.isnull().any(1)]

#  col1 col2
#1  NaN  7.0
#2  3.0  NaN

~ = Opposite :-)

df.loc[~df.index.isin(df.dropna().index)]

Out[234]: 
   col1  col2
1   NaN   7.0
2   3.0   NaN

Or 

df.loc[df.index.difference(df.dropna().index)]
Out[235]: 
   col1  col2
1   NaN   7.0
2   3.0   NaN
